BR-16A restricts development of electroconvulsive shock-induced retrograde amnesia.
Forty nine adult male Sprague Dawley rats were selected for rapid learning in a T-maze to study the effects of BR-16A, a herbal preparation on ECS-induced retrograde amnesia. Half the rats received 200 mg/kg BR-16A and the other half received vehicle alone. The rats were trained to run into the enclosed chamber of either the left or the right arm on a T-maze; a food pellet served as a reward in...
متن کاملRetrograde amnesia after electroconvulsive therapy: a temporary effect?
OBJECTIVE Although electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is generally considered effective against depression, it remains controversial because of its association with retrograde memory loss. Here, we assessed memory after ECT in circumstances most likely to yield strong retrograde amnesia. METHOD A cohort of patients undergoing ECT for major depression was tested before and after ECT, and again at...
متن کاملPre-electroconvulsive shock administration of calcium channel blockers reduces retrograde amnesia induced by ECS.
Effect of pre-electroconvulsive shock (ECS) administration of calcium channel blockers (CCBs) like verapamil, diltiazem, nifedipine, nimodipine, flunarizine and cinnarizine on retrograde amnesia induced by ECS was examined using passive avoidance paradigm in rats. The groups (Gr 1-7) of adult, male Wistar rats received true ECS with CCBs (5mg/kg; i.p) or vehicle (10 ml/kg; ip) and other groups ...
متن کاملRetrograde amnesia and memory consolidation: a neurobiological perspective.
The fact that information acquired before the onset of amnesia can be lost (retrograde amnesia) has fascinated psychologists, biologists, and clinicians for over 100 years. Studies of retrograde amnesia have led to the concept of memory consolidation, whereby medial temporal lobe structures direct the gradual establishment of memory representations in neocortex. Recent theoretical accounts have...
متن کاملRetrograde amnesia and remote memory impairment.
-The status of remote memory in case N.A., patients receiving bilateral ECT, and patients with KorsakoBsyndrome was assessed using seven different tests. The extent and pattern of remote memory impairment depended upon the etiology of amnesia, appearing as a relatively brief retrograde amnesia for N.A. and patients receiving ECT and as an extensive impairment covering many decades for patients ...
