Electrophysiological Evaluation of Disruption in Semantic Memory Induced by Hypnosis: Two Case Reports
نویسنده
چکیده
We reported two cases who were induced to forget number “7” by hypnotic suggestions. While subjects were performing a visual go/no-go task which includes number “7”, their electroencephalogram was recorded. Event related potentials in hypnotic state were compared to waking condition.We observed different results in ERPs between two subjectsand then discussed the limits of electrophysiological investigation of the effects of hypnosis on semantic memory (Sleep and Hypnosis 2013;15(1-2):11-15)

P62: Agmatine Protects Against Intracerebroventricular Streptozotocin-Induced Water Maze Memory Deficit, Hippocampal ApoptosisandAkt/GSK3β Signaling Disruption
Intracerebroventricular stereptozotocin (STZ) treatment has been described as a suitable model for sporadic Alzheimer’s disease (sAD). Centrally administered STZ decreases insulin and insulin receptors in the brain and interrupts PI3/Akt signaling pathway and GSK-3β. Additionally it raises Bax/Bcl-2 ratio and prompts hippocampal apoptosis. Agmatine, a polyamine derived from L-arginin...
متن کاملThe state dependency effect of morphine on memory by behavioral and electrophysiological methods in freely moving rats
Endogenous opioid system agonists exert amnestic effects in different models of memory. It has been suggested that these amnestic effects may be linked indirectly to state-dependent learning. Accordingly pre-training administration of morphine can impair the retrieval of learned tasks in a state dependent manner, which is reversible by pre test morphine administration. In this study, state depe...

متن کاملIntravenous Tramadol-Induced Seizure: Two Case Reports
There are a few reports of seizure induced by tramadol at therapeutic dose. Two case reports of repeated seizures with following agitation due to treatment with tramadol are presented here. Both of them have similar presentation and tramadol was injected intravenously at therapeutic doses. Tramadol prescription especially intravenously can evoke seizure with agitation or even status epilepticus...
متن کاملEffects of misleading questions and hypnotic memory suggestion on memory reports: a signal-detection analysis.
In 2002, the first author and colleagues reported data indicating that both hypnosis and misleading questions decreased the accuracy of memory reports and decreased "don't know" response rates, that the effects of misleading questions were significantly greater than those of hypnosis, and that the two effects were additive. Using a sample of 194 undergraduate students, the present study replica...
