Retrograde amnesia following electroconvulsive therapy
Retrograde amnesia following electroconvulsive therapy is a scholarly work, published in 1976 in ''Nature''. The main subjects of the publication include retrograde amnesia, medicine, prospective memory, recall, psychiatry, psychology, anterograde amnesia, amnesia, anaesthesia, memory disorder, neuroscience, and electroconvulsive therapy. The authors have administered a new remote memory test based on former one-season television programmes to psychiatric patients receiving bilateral electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), and report here that memory for temporal order is markedly affected by ECT.
