LTP) in hippocampal slices (89,90). LTP is believed to be a critical step in memory acquisition, and agents that possess the abiUty to augment this process in vivo are expected to be of benefit in memory enhancement. However, this compound has only demonstrated this property in vitro. In addition, because (11) does not appear to affect other neurotransmitter systems, as do other nootropics, the potential of BMY 21502 as a memory-enhancing agent is questionable. 

AVP is excitatory in the ventral hippocampus, either directly or by potentiation of glutamatergic responses. An inhibitory effect has been observed in AVP may be involved in the formation of long-term potentiation and thus learning and memory. However, AVP is proconvulsive, may augment the formation of dmg tolerance and dependence, and affects cardiovascular regulatory processes. 

It is known that the brain is one of the most sensitive sites of action of steroids in utero, and recently there have been suggestions that EDs may affect normal brain development and behaviour. For example, it has been alleged that in utero exposure to polychlorinated biphenyl compounds (PCBs) resulted in adverse effects on neurologic and intellectual function (memory and attention) in young children born to women who had eaten PCB contaminated fish in the USA." It has also been speculated that exposure to environmental pollutants with steroidal activity may be infinencing human sexual development and sexually controlled behavioiir." ...

Motion sickness arises in the vestibular apparatus. Stimulation of the semicircular canals or the utricles by unfamiliar accelerating movement may cause a mismatch between the sensory information reaching the brain centres controlling balance and posture, with that anticipated. Motion sickness may be avoided by reducing sensory conflict fixing vision on a stable reference point, such as the horizon may be effective. Cortical centres may also contribute memories of previous travel or the sight, and sounds of others being affected often increases susceptibility. 

ADHD because cognitive functions known to be affected in this disorder, namely working memory and inhibitory control, are sensitive to manipulations of D1 receptor-mediated dopamine transmission [1]. Thus, the tonic component might be more critical for the behavioral functions of the FC. 

As a result of the neurochemical changes caused by MDMA, there is significant, observable functional impairment as well. These impairments occur in areas of the brain that have high concentrations of serotonergic neurons. Most notably affected are cognition and memory. Studies have shown decreases... 

True. The use of alcohol and many street drugs can lead to a slowing of brain activity and a lowering of the ability to concentrate. It can also affect memory. 

Since AzD is characterised by an impairment of memory, which is a normal brain function, then a consideration of which NTs and brain circuitry are implicated in the laying down and retrieval of memory may provide an indication of not only which NTs we should expect to be affected in AzD but also which need to be manipulated to therapeutic advantage. Again, most evidence points to ACh and glutamate. 

Acute Brain Syndrome. Any patient with disorientation, lack of judgment, inappropriate affect, and loss of recent memory who was not comatose or catatonic and has no discernible hallucinations, delusions, or other psychiatric manifestations is included in this pattern. Acute brain syndrome is the most common pattern of PCP intoxication among patients brought to the emergency department at LAC/USC Medical Center, accounting for 25 percent of the PCP...
