nimodipine and Amnesia

nimodipine has been researched along with Amnesia in 5 studies

Nimodipine: A calcium channel blockader with preferential cerebrovascular activity. It has marked cerebrovascular dilating effects and lowers blood pressure.
nimodipine : A dihydropyridine that is 1,4-dihydropyridine which is substituted by methyl groups at positions 2 and 6, a (2-methoxyethoxy)carbonyl group at position 3, a m-nitrophenyl group at position 4, and an isopropoxycarbonyl group at position 5. An L-type calcium channel blocker, it acts particularly on cerebral circulation, and is used both orally and intravenously for the prevention and treatment of subarachnoid hemorrhage from ruptured intracranial aneurysm.

Amnesia: Pathologic partial or complete loss of the ability to recall past experiences (AMNESIA, RETROGRADE) or to form new memories (AMNESIA, ANTEROGRADE). This condition may be of organic or psychologic origin. Organic forms of amnesia are usually associated with dysfunction of the DIENCEPHALON or HIPPOCAMPUS. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp426-7)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" The results of this experiment support this hypothesis by demonstrating that the calcium entry blocker nimodipine, which prevents trauma-induced retrograde amnesia in a 1-trial passive learning situation, will also facilitate the recovery of pre-operatively learned brightness discrimination in rats with visual neocortical injuries."3.67Recovery of function after brain damage: facilitation by the calcium entry blocker nimodipine.
