BACKGROUND Loss of personal memories experienced prior to receiving electroconvulsive therapy is common and distressing and in some patients can persist for many months following treatment. Improved understanding of the relationships between individual patient factors, electroconvulsive therapy treatment factors, and clinical indicators measured early in the electroconvulsive therapy course may...

Autobiographical memory involves the recall of both personal facts (semantic memory) and the re-experiencing of past personal events (episodic memory). The recall of autobiographical episodic details has been associated with a specific network, which involves the prefrontal and medial temporal lobes, in addition to posterior regions of the brain. Seizure activity has been previously shown to di...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES This study tests the hypothesis derived from the CaR-FA-X model (Capture and Rumination, Functional Avoidance and Executive Function model, Williams et al., 2007), that depressed individuals will be less specific during voluntary than involuntary autobiographical memory retrieval and looks at the relative contributions of rumination, avoidance and executive function to...

autobiographical memory, that is, our memory for personal life experiences, is integral to our sense of self. however, the experience of trauma can create distortions in how our memories are bought to mind. in particular, trauma can produce an overgeneral memory style, which relates to the development of both ptsd and depression. however, theory states that immediately following a traumatic eve...

memory impairment is one of the main features of post-traumatic stress disorder (ptsd),there are multiple studies in memory impairment and cognitive function such as memory in a variety of explicit memory, implicit, procedural, active, declarative, revermid ,working, visual, false and autobiographical. the methodology of systematic review were, meta-analyzes and controlled studies of sites med ...

While there is solid evidence of other-related theory of mind (ToM) deficits in autism, there is less research addressing self-related ToM impairments. To date, relations between self-related ToM and other cognitive skills related to representing own mental states such as autobiographical memory have scarcely been investigated. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate the differential...

The capacity to remember self-referential past events relies on the integrity of a distributed neural network. Controversy exists, however, regarding the involvement of specific brain structures for the retrieval of recently experienced versus more distant events. Here, we explored how characteristic patterns of atrophy in neurodegenerative disorders differentially disrupt remote versus recent ...

Abstract Autobiographical memory loss is a common complaint of patients treated with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). However, reliable measurement autobiographical after ECT still subject debate. In the 1990s, Colombia University Memory Interview (CUAMI) was developed specifically to monitor changes in during course ECT. this instrument has been criticized due lack psychometric data. talk, we ...

A patient had neuropsychological testing during, and at two days and seven weeks after a transient global amnesia (TGA) attack. During the attack she exhibited a characteristically profound anterograde amnesia but a limited remote memory loss; the most striking impairment was a deficit in personal episodic memory revealed by her performance on the Autobiographical Memory Interview. Personal and...
