Streszczenie
Neurophysiological and molecular mechanisms contributing to the forming of the descriptive memory and the memory of emotions as well as the central stress-response were explained.

In the paper authors present information preceding their further announcements concerning the subject of post-mortem evaluation of short-term but intense emotions immediately before death.
