amobarbital and Perceptual Disorders

amobarbital has been researched along with Perceptual Disorders in 4 studies

Amobarbital: A barbiturate with hypnotic and sedative properties (but not antianxiety). Adverse effects are mainly a consequence of dose-related CNS depression and the risk of dependence with continued use is high. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p565)
amobarbital : A member of the class of barbiturates that is pyrimidine-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)-trione substituted by a 3-methylbutyl and an ethyl group at position 5. Amobarbital has been shown to exhibit sedative and hypnotic properties.

Perceptual Disorders: Cognitive disorders characterized by an impaired ability to perceive the nature of objects or concepts through use of the sense organs. These include spatial neglect syndromes, where an individual does not attend to visual, auditory, or sensory stimuli presented from one side of the body.

( De Ridder, D; Francois, O; Fransen, H; Kovacs, S; Sunaert, S; Van De Heyning, P, 2006)
"Intracarotid injection of a low dosage of amobarbital (75 mg, 5% solution) was studied in 30 temporal lobectomy candidates while naming achromatic, incongruously, and congruously colored pictorial objects and reading real, nonsense, and embedded words."1.30Semantic, phonological, and perceptual changes following left and right intracarotid injection (Wada) with a low amytal dosage.
