mecamylamine and Memory Disorders

mecamylamine has been researched along with Memory Disorders in 18 studies

Mecamylamine: A nicotinic antagonist that is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and crosses the blood-brain barrier. Mecamylamine has been used as a ganglionic blocker in treating hypertension, but, like most ganglionic blockers, is more often used now as a research tool.

Memory Disorders: Disturbances in registering an impression, in the retention of an acquired impression, or in the recall of an impression. Memory impairments are associated with DEMENTIA; CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA; ENCEPHALITIS; ALCOHOLISM (see also ALCOHOL AMNESTIC DISORDER); SCHIZOPHRENIA; and other conditions.

( Katyal, A; Rai, S; Ray, RS, 2014)
"In smokers with schizophrenia and control smokers, overnight abstinence led to undetectable plasma nicotine levels and an increase in tobacco craving."3.73Effects of cigarette smoking on spatial working memory and attentional deficits in schizophrenia: involvement of nicotinic receptor mechanisms. ( Dudas, MM; George, TP; Jatlow, PI; Krishnan-Sarin, S; Sacco, KA; Seyal, A; Termine, A; Vessicchio, JC; Wexler, BE, 2005)
", by reaching the high end of a nicotinic receptor activation inverted-U dose-response function."1.43Attenuation in rats of impairments of memory by scopolamine, a muscarinic receptor antagonist, by mecamylamine, a nicotinic receptor antagonist. ( Gold, PE; Newman, LA, 2016)

( Katyal, A; Rai, S; Ray, RS, 2014)
