n-methyl-3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine and Memory Disorders

n-methyl-3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine has been researched along with Memory Disorders in 100 studies

N-Methyl-3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine: An N-substituted amphetamine analog. It is a widely abused drug classified as a hallucinogen and causes marked, long-lasting changes in brain serotonergic systems. It is commonly referred to as MDMA or ecstasy.
3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine : A member of the class of benzodioxoles that is 1,3-benzodioxole substituted by a 2-(methylamino)propyl group at position 5.

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.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Ketanserin caused an increase in AEA concentrations, 180 min after administration."2.87Peripheral endocannabinoid concentrations are not associated with verbal memory impairment during MDMA intoxication. ( de la Torre, R; Farre, M; Haijen, E; Kuypers, KPC; Olesti, E; Pastor, A; Pizarro, N; Ramaekers, JG, 2018)
"Ecstasy use is commonly linked with memory deficits in abstinent ecstasy users."2.78Inhibition of MDMA-induced increase in cortisol does not prevent acute impairment of verbal memory. ( de la Torre, R; Farre, M; Kuypers, KP; Pujadas, M; Ramaekers, JG, 2013)
" Thus, the current state of research does not allow for the conclusion that long-term use of MDMA affects decision-making behavior in general."2.55Decision-making in chronic ecstasy users: a systematic review. ( Betzler, F; Romanczuk-Seiferth, N; Viohl, L, 2017)
"The chronic intake of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, "ecstasy") bears a strong risk for sustained declarative memory impairments."1.91The functional connectome of 3,4-methyldioxymethamphetamine-related declarative memory impairments. ( Baumgartner, MR; Beste, C; Cole, DM; Coray, RC; Haugg, A; Quednow, BB; Seifritz, E; Steuer, AE; Stock, AK; Zimmermann, J, 2023)
"In turn, new hypotheses suggest that Alzheimer's disease (AD) may be promoted by neural stressors."1.51Effects of MDMA on neuroplasticity, amyloid burden and phospho-tau expression in APPswe/PS1dE9 mice. ( Abad, S; Camarasa, J; Camins, A; Escubedo, E; Folch, J; López-Arnau, R; Pubill, D; Ramon-Duaso, C, 2019)
"Nicotine or MDMA treatment reduced memory function and altered hippocampal structure."1.43Neural and behavioural changes in male periadolescent mice after prolonged nicotine-MDMA treatment. ( Adeniyi, PA; Bankole, OO; Ishola, AO; Laoye, BJ; Ogundele, OM; Olatunji, BP; Shallie, PD, 2016)
"Pre-treatment with memantine did not prevent MDMA-induced memory impairment in these two tasks."1.40Memory and mood during MDMA intoxication, with and without memantine pretreatment. ( de la Torre, R; de Sousa Fernandes Perna, EB; Farre, M; Heckman, P; Kuypers, KP; Ramaekers, JG; Theunissen, EL, 2014)
"We conclude that memory deficits of MDMA users arise from combined fronto-parieto-mediotemporal dysfunction."1.39Verbal memory deficits are correlated with prefrontal hypometabolism in (18)FDG PET of recreational MDMA users. ( Biersack, HJ; Bosch, OG; Jessen, F; Joe, A; Kühn, KU; Maier, W; Quednow, BB; Seifritz, E; Wagner, M, 2013)
"A rat model for learning and memory deficits has not been established, although some cognitive deficits have been reported."1.333,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine in adult rats produces deficits in path integration and spatial reference memory. ( Able, JA; Gudelsky, GA; Vorhees, CV; Williams, MT, 2006)
"Additionally, users that met DSM-IV substance use disorder criteria for lifetime MDMA abuse or dependence exhibited a number of additional deficits relative to those who did not meet these criteria."1.32Neurocognitive function in users of MDMA: the importance of clinically significant patterns of use. ( Hanson, KL; Luciana, M, 2004)
