Exploring the Relationship Between Atorvastatin and Memory Loss: A Comprehensive Analysis Integrating Real-World Pharmacovigilance and Mendelian Randomization [PDF]
Drugs in R&DBackground and Objective Atorvastatin is a drug widely used to prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Current observational studies suggest that atorvastatin may be associated with cognitive dysfunction (especially memory loss).

Retrograde Amnesia – A Question of Disturbed Calcium Levels?
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2021 Retrograde amnesia is the inability to remember events or information. The successful acquisition and memory of information is required before retrograde amnesia may occur. Often, the trigger for retrograde amnesia is a traumatic event.

Increased Pupil Size during Future Thinking in a Subject with Retrograde Amnesia
Brain Sciences, 2022 Recent research has assessed pupil size during past thinking in patients with retrograde amnesia. Building on this research, we assessed pupil size during future thinking in a retrograde amnesia patient.

Shrinking retrograde amnesia. [PDF]
Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 1967 Frank Benson and I decided to publish this case not because the phenomenon was new — Ritchie Russell and Peter Nathan had described it in 1946 — but because it had been neglected. Thus many animal experimenters had attempted to study the time course of consolidation of memory traces by such experiments as teaching the animal a task and after a variable

Suppression of neurotoxic lesion-induced seizure activity: evidence for a permanent role for the hippocampus in contextual memory. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Damage to the hippocampus (HPC) using the excitotoxin N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) can cause retrograde amnesia for contextual fear memory. This amnesia is typically attributed to loss of cells in the HPC.

Profound loss of general knowledge in retrograde amnesia: Evidence from an amnesic artist
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014 Studies of retrograde amnesia have focused on autobiographical memory, with fewer studies examining how non-autobiographical memory is affected. Those that have done so have focused primarily on memory for famous people and public events—relatively ...
