Drugs and Retrograde Amnesia

1967
Publisher Summary The retrograde amnesia (RA) phenomenon occurs in both animals and man and overwhelming evidence exists showing that a single electroconvulsive shock (ECS) treatment given after acquisition produces RA. Because ECS constitutes such a reliable RA treatment, drugs can be studied for their ability to duplicate the effects of this ...

Functional (dissociative) retrograde amnesia

2016
Retrograde amnesia is described as condition which can occur after direct brain damage, but which occurs more frequently as a result of a psychiatric illness. In order to understand the amnesic condition, content-based divisions of memory are defined. The measurement of retrograde memory is discussed and the dichotomy between "organic" and "psychogenic"

Caudate stimulation and retrograde amnesia: Amnesia threshold and gradient

Behavioral Biology, 1972
This experiment determined the threshold stimulation intensity needed for production of retrograde amnesia with 60 Hz caudate stimulation. With the stimulation parameters used, the necessary intensity is between 1 and 1.5 mA. This stimulation is an effective amnesic agent when administered 15 min, but not 60 min, after training.

Severe retrograde amnesia

Aphasiology, 1995
Abstract A case of severe retrograde and less severe anterograde amnesia with initial multimodal agnosia is described as an outcome of traumatic brain damage. Anatomical and metabolic studies document right frontal and left occipital lesions with sparing of medial temporal cortex.

Retrograde amnesia during transient global amnesia

Neurocase, 1996
Abstract Two patients who met Hodges' clinical criteria for transient global amnesia (TGA) were given anterograde and retrograde memory tests during and after the attack. A SPECT scan was performed during TGA in one case, showing a reduced blood flow confined to the bilateral medial temporal lobes, which resolved on the next day.

The syndrome of pure retrograde amnesia

Neurocase, 1998
Three cases of pure retrograde amnesia (PRA) are reported. The sudden onset of PRA occurred after minor head trauma in two cases (CDA and AF) and after emotional stress in one case (GC). No structural brain damage was apparent in any of the three patients. Evidence of temporal gradient was found.

Retrograde Amnesia in Free Recall

Science, 1969
Supervention of high-priority events in a series of events constituting a free-recall task interferes with postexposure processing of mnemonic information about immediately preceding events, with the result that recall of these preceding events is impaired. Recall of immediately following events is not affected.

Is anterograde amnesia a special case of retrograde amnesia?

Behavioral Neuroscience, 1983
In anterograde amnesia, memory loss is obtained for events that occur subsequent to the traumatic insult. But because the effects of an anterograde agent or treatment usually last for minutes, or even hours, after the nominal training event, processing of information may be altered during the postacquisition period as well as during acquisition.

[A woman with retrograde amnesia].

Nederlands tijdschrift voor geneeskunde, 2012
A 56-year-old woman presented with retrograde amnesia and confusion at the Emergency Department after falling down the stairs. Physical examination revealed a bilateral periorbital hematoma (raccoon eyes) and bilateral retroauricular ecchymosis, both strongly indicative of a basilar skull fracture.
