Boosting noradrenaline during learning makes the brain link memories more broadly, study finds

A randomized placebo controlled experiment shows that increasing noradrenaline during learning does not improve basic memory accuracy but increases the spread of associations across the hippocampal cognitive map. This broader neural linking leads to greater overgeneralization errors days later, suggesting that noradrenergic arousal can reshape how related memories become interconnected.
