amnesia/hypoxia

A patient is described who, following an episode of acute brain hypoxia, showed the selective neuropsychological syndrome of Global Amnesia, including preserved unconscious procedural learning ability, associated with the clinical feature of 'indifférence amnésique'. A 12-month follow-up

Memory consolidation in Drosophila was investigated using cold anesthesia- and hypoxia-induced amnesia. Individual flies were operantly trained to avoid the specific flight orientations with respect to the landmarks surrounding them when paired with heat reinforcement at a flight simulator. Cold

The assumptions underlying neuroimaging, and problems in its analysis and interpretation, are commonly underestimated in neuropsychology. The ways in which fluoro-deoxy-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) data can be analysed are discussed. PET findings from four patients who had

Hypoxia-induced cognitive deficits are mainly due to disturbances of the balance between the GABAergic and glutamatergic systems. Acquisition, consolidation and retention impairment in passive avoidance test, hypolocomotion in the open field test, an anxiogenic-like effect in the elevated plus-maze

Hypoxia or electroconvulsive shock (ECS) was administered to two strains of rats following one trial passive avoidance training. ECS produced retrograde amnesia in the Blue Spruce Farms Long Evans hooded rat when administered within 10 sec after training and in the Charles River albino rat when

We report a case of a 55-year-old man with ischemic lesions of the bilateral hippocampus and bilateral basal ganglia following a myocardial infarction during an episode of multiple drug use with subsequent anoxia requiring resuscitation. He presented for a neuropsychological evaluation with an

The effect of neuropeptides and their analogs on anoxia-induced amnesia was examined using one-trial passive avoidance task in mice. Anoxia, produced by the exposure to CO2 immediately after the acquisition of avoidance response, induced amnesia which is shown by a short latency to enter from the

It has been suggested that amnesic patients suffer a selective loss of episodic memory while semantic memory remains well preserved. To assess the validity of this idea we studied remote memory in an amnesic patient, (M.R.L.), using several different measures that differ in the extent to which they

DuP 996, 3,3-bis(4-pyrindinylmethyl)-1-phenylindolin-2-one, physostigmine (PH), tetrahydroaminoacridine (THA) and 3,4-diaminopyridine (3,4-DAP) were compared for their ability to protect against hypoxia-induced performance deficits in a passive avoidance (PA) task. The ability to retain PA response
