Method of Loci usage may aid in the regulation of emotions and emotional responses
The MoL processes concrete episodic memory and dreams process the emotional responses tied to them (Desseilles and Duclos, 2014). This idea can be partially supported by the research completed by neurobiologists. Kondo, Suzuki, Migikura, Abe, Takahashii, Ijima and Fujii (2005), reported that during the use of MoL, areas of the brain activate in patterns that closely mimic those activated during REM sleep. If this is the case, it may be that the areas are building sympathetic links between the physical and emotional memories in similar but distinct ways
