Ketamine Sedation of Case with Unknown Posterior Fossa Tumor by Bengü Gülhan Aydın, Mehmet Akın, Gamze Küçükosman, Murat Çimencan, Özcan Pişkin, Dilek Okyay, Hilal Ayoğlu

“…Ketamine, chosen for many years for anesthetic practice, is the only agent with analgesic, hypnotic and amnesic effects. Since the use of ketamine may cause uncontrolled increases in intracranial pressure, in the literature, there are concerns about its use, especially for patients with increased intracranial pressure. …”

Developmental Changes in Memory-Related Linguistic Skills and Their Relationship to Episodic Recall in Children. by Izumi Uehara

“…Milestone 2 was typically related to the onset of infantile amnesia, whereas Milestone 1 occurred during the period for which the children became amnesic as they aged. These data suggest that linguistic meta-cognitive awareness of personal memory is the key feature in infantile amnesia.…”

Transient Global Amnesia Associated With a Unilateral Infarction of the Fornix: Case Report and Review of the Literature by Mihir eGupta, Molly A Kantor, Molly A Kantor, Christie E Tung, Christie E Tung, Niushen eZhang, Niushen eZhang, Gregory W Albers, Gregory W Albers, Gregory W Albers

“…Unilateral lesions of the fornix rarely cause amnesia and have not previously been reported to be associated with the distinctive amnesic picture of transient global amnesia. We describe the case of a 60-year-old woman who presented with acute onset, recent retrograde and anterograde amnesia characteristic of transient global amnesia. …”

Activating the medial temporal lobe during oddity judgment for faces and scenes by Lee, A, Scahill, V, Graham, K

“…Impairments in visual discrimination beyond long-term declarative memory have been found in amnesic individuals, with hippocampal lesions resulting in deficits in scene discrimination and perirhinal cortex damage affecting object discrimination. …”

Lateral and anterior thalamic lesions impair independent memory systems. by Mitchell, A, Dalrymple-Alford, J

“…Damage to the medial region of the thalamus, both in clinical cases (e.g., patients with infarcts or the Korsakoff's syndrome) and animal lesion models, is associated with variable amnesic deficits. Some studies suggest that many of these memory deficits rely on the presence of lateral thalamic lesions (LT) that include the intralaminar nuclei, presumably by altering normal function between the striatum and frontal cortex. …”

Specialization in the medial temporal lobe for processing of objects and scenes. by Lee, A, Buckley, M, Pegman, S, Spiers, H, Scahill, V, Gaffan, D, Bussey, T, Davies, R, Kapur, N, Hodges, JR, Graham, K

“…We administered a series of oddity tasks, in which subjects selected the odd stimulus from a visual array, to amnesic patients with either selective hippocampal damage (HC group) or more extensive medial temporal damage, including the perirhinal cortex (MTL group). …”

Medial Temporal Lobe Contributions to Future Thinking: Evidence from Neuroimaging and Amnesia by Mieke Verfaellie, Elizabeth Race, Margaret M Keane

“…<span>Following early amnesic case reports, there is now considerable evidence suggesting a link between remembering the past and envisioning the future. …”

How emotion strengthens the recollective experience: a time-dependent hippocampal process. by Tali Sharot, Mieke Verfaellie, Andrew P Yonelinas

“…Second, if the emotion advantage is critically dependent on the hippocampus, then the effects should be reduced in amnesic patients with hippocampal damage. To test these predictions we examined the recollective experience for emotional and neutral photos at two retention intervals (Experiment 1), and in amnesics and controls (Experiment 2). …”

Gongjin-Dan Enhances Hippocampal Memory in a Mouse Model of Scopolamine-Induced Amnesia. by Jin-Seok Lee, Sung-Shin Hong, Hyeong-Geug Kim, Hye-Won Lee, Won-Yong Kim, Sam-Keun Lee, Chang-Gue Son

“…These findings strongly suggest that GJD exerts a potent anti-amnesic effect, and its underlying mechanism might involve the modulation of cholinergic activity.…”

Modeling the influence of the hippocampal memory system on the oculomotor system by Ryan, Jennifer D., Shen, Kelly, Kacollja, Arber, Tian, Heather, Griffiths, John, Bezgin, Gleb, McIntosh, Anthony R.

“…Visual exploration is related to activity in the hippocampus (HC) and/or extended medial temporal lobe system (MTL), is influenced by stored memories, and is altered in amnesic cases. An extensive set of polysynaptic connections exists both within and between the HC and oculomotor systems such that investigating how HC responses ultimately influence neural activity in the oculomotor system, and the timing by which such neural modulation could occur, is not trivial. …”

Functional specialization in the human medial temporal lobe. by Barense, MD, Bussey, T, Lee, A, Rogers, T, Davies, R, Saksida, L, Murray, E, Graham, K

“…To resolve this discrepancy, amnesic patients with either selective hippocampal damage or more extensive MTL damage were tested on variations of an object discrimination task adapted from the nonhuman primate literature. …”

The human medial temporal lobe processes online representations of complex objects. by Barense, MD, Gaffan, D, Graham, K

“…To address this issue, a series of trial-unique object "oddity" tasks, in which subjects selected the odd stimulus from a visual array, were administered to amnesic patients with either selective bilateral damage to the hippocampus or more extensive damage to MTL regions, including the perirhinal cortex. …”
