Relationship between changes in salivary cortisol levels and recall performance, using the rs1360780 polymorphism of FKBP5 as a representative example. Changes in salivary cortisol levels were positively correlated with immediate (a) and delayed recall (c) in non-carriers of the risk allele for rs1360780. No such relationship was observed in carriers of the risk allele (b, d). Analyses of immediate and delayed recall based on cortisol response to the stress revealed that non-carriers who exhibited a greater cortisol response to the stress had enhanced memory; this effect was no observed in risk allele carriers. * P < 0.05 relative to responders carrying the risk allele; ** P < 0.01 relative to non-stressed non-carriers and responders carrying the risk allele.
