Gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor β3 subunit forebrain-specific knockout mice are resistant to the amnestic effect of isoflurane.Rau V, Oh I, Liao M, Bodarky C, Fanselow MS, Homanics GE, Sonner JM, Eger EI Department of Anesthesia, S-455, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, CA 94143-0464, USA. vinutarau@yahoo.com Published 24 August 2011 in Anesth Analg, 113(3): 500-4.

Articles on Amnesia published 14 July 2011: Medial temporal lobe damage causes deficits in episodic memory and episodic future thinking not attributable to deficits in narrative construction. J Neurosci, 31(28): 10262-9. The medial temporal lobe (MTL) makes critical contributions to episodic memory, but its contributions to episodic future thinking remain a matter of debate. By one view, imagining future events relies on MTL mechanisms that also support memory for past events. Alternatively, it has recently been suggested that future thinking is independent of MTL-mediated processes and can be supported by regions outside the MTL. The current study investigated the nature and necessity of MTL involvement in ...

Diet intervention and cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers in amnestic mild cognitive impairment. Arch Neurol, 68(6): 743-52. Articles on Amnesia published 1 June 2011: Transient global amnesia as a revealing sign of giant transtentorial meningioma: case report and review of the literature. J Nerv Ment Dis, 199(6): 416-8. Since 1974, only 14 papers in MEDLINE-indexed journals have linked transient global amnesia (TGA) to a brain tumor. Among these, two described the entity of transient epileptic amnesia (TEA), whereas most reports lacked the functional investigations that might differentiate the two conditions. Only six cases have linked TGA or TEA to a meningioma, and none of them were transtentorial. We report the case of a 75-year-old woman who presented with one episode of TGA as a sole symptom of a giant ...

Does physical activity influence semantic memory activation in amnestic mild cognitive impairment? Psychiatry Res, 193(1): 60-2. The effect of physical activity (PA) on functional brain activation for semantic memory in amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) was examined using event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging during fame discrimination. Significantly greater semantic memory activation occurred in the left caudate of High- versus Low-PA patients, (P=0.03), suggesting PA may enhance memory-related caudate activation in aMCI. [Abstract] [Full-text] Effects of Nelumbo nucifera rhizome extract on cell proliferation and neuroblast differentiation in the hippocampal dentate gyrus in a scopolamine-induced amnesia animal model. Phytother Res, 25(6): 809-15. A large aquatic herb, Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn, has psychopharmacological effects similar to minor tranquillizers and antistress agents. This study examined the effects of Nelumbo nucifera rhizome extracts (NRE) on cell proliferation and neuroblast differentiation in the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG) of a rat model of scopolamine-induced amnesia. Immunohistochemical markers included Ki67, an endogenous marker for active cell cycle, and doublecortin (DCX), a marker for immature neurons and ...
