Ketamine induces anterograde and retrograde amnesia in rats
Introduction: The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, which have been implicated in memory formation, could be noncompetitively blocked by ketamine. The present study examines the short term effect of ketamine on induction of anterograde and retrograde amnesia in male rats using Morris water maze (MWM). Methods: Male N-MRI rats were randomly divided into nine experimental groups. MWM stud...
متن کاملPostoperative anterograde amnesia.
The problems of defining and estimating preand postoperative amnesia are discussed. The extent of postoperative (anterograde) amnesia in patients receiving pre-operative medication (consisting of atropine, pethidine and pentobarbitone) followed by general anaesthesia (consisting of thiopentone, halothane and nitrous oxide) was ascertained. Two control groups were employed; one received spinal a...

متن کاملActivation of existing memories in anterograde amnesia.
Two principal arguments against a consolidation-block formulation of anterograde amnesia are the existence of pnor-list intrusion errors and the facilitating effect of cued recall Both of these findings can be explained if one assumes an additional process trace activation of already existing memories. This consolidation-block plus trace-activation view predicts that in densely amnesic patients...
متن کاملLong-Term Recency in Anterograde Amnesia
Amnesia is usually described as an impairment of a long-term memory (LTM) despite an intact short-term memory (STM). The intact recency effect in amnesia had supported this view. Although dual-store models of memory have been challenged by single-store models based on interference theory, this had relatively little influence on our understanding and treatment of amnesia, perhaps because the deb...
