A research study by Florin Dolcos and his colleagues at the Duke University reveals that when our emotions are aroused, the brain takes note. It stores as much detail as possible about the emotion-filled event, wiring it for quick recall.

Therefore, the stronger the emotion, the easier it is to remember.
