methylphenidate and Age-Related Memory Disorders

methylphenidate has been researched along with Age-Related Memory Disorders in 18 studies

Methylphenidate: A central nervous system stimulant used most commonly in the treatment of ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER in children and for NARCOLEPSY. Its mechanisms appear to be similar to those of DEXTROAMPHETAMINE. The d-isomer of this drug is referred to as DEXMETHYLPHENIDATE HYDROCHLORIDE.
methylphenidate : A racemate comprising equimolar amounts of the two threo isomers of methyl phenyl(piperidin-2-yl)acetate. A central stimulant and indirect-acting sympathomimetic, is used (generally as the hydrochloride salt) in the treatment of hyperactivity disorders in children and for the treatment of narcolepsy.
methyl phenyl(piperidin-2-yl)acetate : A amino acid ester that is methyl phenylacetate in which one of the hydrogens alpha to the carbonyl group is replaced by a piperidin-2-yl group.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Declarative memory deficits are common in untreated adults with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), but limited evidence exists to support improvement after treatment with methylphenidate."2.75Methylphenidate significantly improves declarative memory functioning of adults with ADHD. ( Bekker, EM; Buitelaar, JK; Kooij, JJ; Olivier, B; Verbaten, MN; Verster, JC; Volkerts, ER, 2010)
"Methylphenidate (MPH) is an effective medication to improve these cognitive difficulties."2.74Effects of methylphenidate on working memory functioning in children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder. ( Bechtel, N; Klarhöfer, M; Kobel, M; Opwis, K; Penner, IK; Scheffler, K; Specht, K; Weber, P, 2009)
"Methylphenidate (MPH) is a psychostimulant widely misused to increase wakefulness by drivers and students."1.62Stimulants cocktail: Methylphenidate plus caffeine impairs memory and cognition and alters mitochondrial and oxidative status. ( Barcellos, LJG; de Alcantara Barcellos, HH; Fortuna, M; Freddo, N; Koakoski, G; Maffi, VC; Mozzato, MT; Pompermaier, A; Rossato-Grando, LG; Soares, SM; Varela, ACC, 2021)
"Methylphenidate (MPH) is a dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor that is widely used for the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in children and adults."1.40Object memory impairment at post-drug Day 15 but not at Day 1 after a regimen of repeated treatment with oral methylphenidate. ( Bigney, EE; Fry, MD; Hooper, C; Taukulis, HK, 2014)
"Thus, overnutrition due to fats may be central to childhood psychological perturbations such as anxiety and ADHD."1.39Methylphenidate prevents high-fat diet (HFD)-induced learning/memory impairment in juvenile mice. ( Chiu, GS; Freund, GG; Gainey, SJ; Kaczmarczyk, MM; Kelley, KW; Kwakwa, KA; Lawson, MA; Machaj, AS; Martin, SA; Meling, DD; Miller, MJ; Newman, AF; Wang, Y; Woods, JA; York, JM, 2013)
" Chronic administration did not cause any effect on memory, but decreased adenosine A(1) receptors immunocontent in the frontal cortex."1.37Blockade of adenosine A(1) receptors prevents methylphenidate-induced impairment of object recognition task in adult mice. ( Ardais, AP; Botton, PH; Costa, MS; Espinosa, J; Matte, VL; Mioranzza, S; Porciúncula, LO; Souza, DO, 2011)
" This study compared the cognitive consequences following chronic treatment with two doses (5 and 10 mg/kg) of methylphenidate on recognition and spatial memory in adult male Long-Evans rats using an established oral dosing procedure."1.35Chronic oral methylphenidate induces post-treatment impairment in recognition and spatial memory in adult rats. ( LeBlanc-Duchin, D; Taukulis, HK, 2009)
