(18) The first task was designed to simulate amnesic symptoms in normals.
(19) The causes and semiological formulae of these syndromes are varied, but they are all characterized by anterograde amnesia combined with a retrograde amnesic disorder and by elective damage of episodic and declarative memories, the semantic and procedural memories, as well as intelligence, being usually spared.
(20) There is some evidence that partial tolerance to amnesic effects develops with repeated doses of diazepam, but research with other benzodiazepines is inconclusive.
Amnestic
Definition:
(a.) Causing loss of memory.
Example Sentences:
(1) Since a special medical examination during the acute state is only possible as exception the patient's amnestically seizable behaviour obtains greatest importance in differential diagnosis.
(2) On the other hand, amnestic doses of FA only affected catecholamine levels.
(3) Two experiments were performed to determine the locus of the amnestic effects of scopolamine in man.
(4) The paper discusses the role of the noradrenergic and dopaminergic neurotransmitter systems for the amnestic effect of the clonidine + haloperidol combination, as well as for the favourable effect on the cognitive functions of the tested nootropic drugs adafenoxate and p-p.
(5) To investigate the ability of midazolam, a new water-soluble benzodiazepine preparation, noted for its potency, rapid onset of action, and amnestic qualities, to enhance patient acceptability of a follow-up liver biopsy, a "sedative dose" of midazolam (2 mg) or saline was administered immediately prior to and following a percutaneous liver biopsy.
(6) Traumatic twilight state on the one and amnestic episode (transient global amnesia) on the other side are as a rule easy to differentiate from the patient's age, his behavior during the acute state of disease and the kind of its improving.
(7) The positron emission tomography showed a decrease in cerebral blood flow and oxygen metabolism in the left thalamus and the ipsilateral frontal cortex (-20% to -12% of asymmetry index) both at day 11 and at 5 months after onset, although amnestic symptoms certainly improved during that period.
(8) A 28 years old man underwent a five-hour amnestic episode whereas the EEG showed normal curves.
(9) Propranolol-pretreated animals had impaired retention whether or not they received post-training amnestic injections of glucose; glucose had no effect on retention in these amnestic animals.
(10) Three experiments describe the amnestic qualities of 3,4-dehydro-DL-proline in a chick memory paradigm, the retrograde quality of this amnesia, and its existence in a mammalian (mouse) preparation.
(11) In all of the patients no significant drop in arterial oxygen saturation could be observed, but on the other hand, no real anxiolytic or amnestic effects either.
(12) The results indicate that the amnestic effect of ECS requires integrity of posterior hypothalamic pathways.
(13) This data suggests that the memory enhancement produced by peripherally administered CCK-8 involves the amygdala and that both CCK-8 and epinephrine interact with opioid amnestic mechanisms within the amygdala to alter memory processing.
(14) These results are not consistent with the hypothesis of amnestic effects of halothane anaesthesia; they are interpreted in terms of aversive effects.

(20) EEG sleep and motor activity parameters provide useful pointers for differential diagnosis and treatment while having the added advantage of diminishing the clinician's almost exclusive dependency on amnestic data and the psychological observations made on the patient's behavior.
