phenobarbital and Age-Related Memory Disorders

phenobarbital has been researched along with Age-Related Memory Disorders in 7 studies

Phenobarbital: A barbituric acid derivative that acts as a nonselective central nervous system depressant. It potentiates GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID action on GABA-A RECEPTORS, and modulates chloride currents through receptor channels. It also inhibits glutamate induced depolarizations.
phenobarbital : A member of the class of barbiturates, the structure of which is that of barbituric acid substituted at C-5 by ethyl and phenyl groups.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Curcumin has shown antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and neuro-protective properties."1.36Curcumin ameliorates cognitive dysfunction and oxidative damage in phenobarbitone and carbamazepine administered rats. ( Gupta, YK; Mehla, J; Reeta, KH, 2010)
"In particular, memory deficits, attentional problems, psychomotor slowing and reading and writing difficulties are highlighted, and the impact of the seizures, brain damage, and anticonvulsant drugs on cognitive function noted."1.27[Cognitive effects of antiepileptic drugs]. ( Trimble, R, 1987)
