Absence of Nimodipine Premedication Effect on Memory after Electroconvulsive Therapy
Absence of Nimodipine Premedication Effect on Memory after Electroconvulsive Therapy is a scholarly work, published in 1990 in ''Neuropsychobiology''. The main subjects of the publication include memory disorder, premedication, retrograde amnesia, Management of depression, psychology, placebo, bipolar disorder, cognitive disorder, medicine, anaesthesia, cognition, electroconvulsive therapy, nimodipine, amnesia, neuroscience, anterograde amnesia, and calcium channel blocker. The authors speculated that the efficacy of ECT can be separated from its cognitive dysfunction by administration of nimodipine, a calcium channel blocker that crosses the blood-brain barrier and has prevented electroshock-induced amnesia in animal studies.
