flunitrazepam and Learning Disabilities

flunitrazepam has been researched along with Learning Disabilities in 2 studies

Flunitrazepam: A benzodiazepine with pharmacologic actions similar to those of DIAZEPAM that can cause ANTEROGRADE AMNESIA. Some reports indicate that it is used as a date rape drug and suggest that it may precipitate violent behavior. The United States Government has banned the importation of this drug.
flunitrazepam : A 1,4-benzodiazepinone that is nitrazepam substituted by a methyl group at position 1 and by a fluoro group at position 2'. It is a potent hypnotic, sedative, and amnestic drug used to treat chronic insomnia.

Learning Disabilities: Conditions characterized by a significant discrepancy between an individual's perceived level of intellect and their ability to acquire new language and other cognitive skills. These may result from organic or psychological conditions. Relatively common subtypes include DYSLEXIA, DYSCALCULIA, and DYSGRAPHIA.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The sensitivity of prenatally protein-malnourished rats to the amnestic properties of the benzodiazepine (BZ) receptor agonist, chlordiazepoxide (CDP), was studied in the male offspring of rats provided with a protein-deficient diet (6% casein) for 5 weeks prior to mating and throughout pregnancy."3.70Chlordiazepoxide-induced spatial learning deficits: dose-dependent differences following prenatal malnutrition. ( Fiacco, TT; Galler, JR; Rosene, DL; Shultz, PL; Shumsky, JS; Tonkiss, J; Vincitore, M, 2000)
"Several studies have shown that sleep deprivation produces deficits in learning tasks, but mechanisms underlying these effects remain unclear."1.33Learning deficits induced by sleep deprivation and recovery are not associated with altered [(3)H]muscimol and [(3)H]flunitrazepam binding. ( Dubiela, FP; Hipólide, DC; Moreira, KM; Nobrega, JN; Oliveira, MG; Tufik, S, 2005)
