abstract   aim and background: the forgetfulness or memory deficit hypothesis in patients with obsessive–compulsive disorder (ocd) has been used to explain the maintenance of repetitive behaviors in these patients. yet the majority of studies focusing on memory of patients with ocd show mixed results. the aim of this study was to compare of false memory and memory confidence in women with obses...

Objective(s): Cognitive deficit is a common problem in epilepsy. A major concern emergent from the use of antiepileptic drugs includes their side effects on learning and memory. Herbal medicine is considered a complementary and alternative therapy in epilepsy. Apigenin is a safe flavone with antioxidant properties. However, there is little information about the benefic...

Memory deficits are induced during the late stage (20-25 days) of thiamine-deficient (TD) feeding. In this review, the role of cholinergic neurons on the memory deficit induced by TD feeding are summarized. Although memory deficit cannot be suppressed by an injection of thiamine once it appears, such impairment was found to be protected by early treatment with thiamine during TD feeding. Admini...

A prior study found a selective deficit in verbal working memory in a subgroup of patients with schizophrenia who performed as well as healthy controls on a screening test of attention and auditory perception [Arch. Gen. Psychiatry 55 (1998) 1093]. Given the importance of defining pathophysiologically distinct subtypes of schizophrenia, the present study aimed to replicate and extend this findi...

PURPOSE Impairment of learning and memory processes has been demonstrated by many studies using different stressors. Other reports suggested that exercise has a powerful behavioral intervention to improve cognitive function and brain health. In this research, we investigated protective effects of treadmill running on chronic stress-induced memory deficit in rats. METHODS Fifty male Wistar rat...

objective: children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (adhd) do not process most information due to inattention and loss of the opportunity to save and retrieve information. therefore, these children experience memory impairment. although visual memory has been previously studied in children with adhd, iconic memory in these children has been less evaluated. we aimed to study the po...

BACKGROUND Neuroimaging studies have provided evidence of abnormal frontal and temporal lobe function in schizophrenia. Frontal cortex abnormalities have been associated with negative symptoms and temporal lobe abnormalities with positive symptoms. The deficit and nondeficit forms of schizophrenia were predicted to differ in prefrontal cortical activity, but not in medial temporal lobe activity...
