Clinically, it manifests with a paroxysmal, transient loss of memory function. Immediate recall ability is preserved, as is remote memory; however, patients experience striking loss of memory for recent events and an impaired ability to retain new information. In some cases, the degree of retrograde memory loss is mild. Many patients are anxious or agitated and may repeatedly ask questions concerning transpiring events. On mental status examination, language function is preserved, which indicates a preservation of semantic and syntax memory. Attention is spared, visual-spatial skills are intact, and social skills are retained. Symptoms typically last less than 24 hours. As the syndrome resolves, the amnesia improves, but the patient may be left with a distinct lapse of recollection for events during the attack. Pathophysiology: The precise pathophysiology of TGA is not clear. On positron emission tomography (PET) and diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI), blood flow to specific brain areas that involve memory appears to be disrupted transiently during TGA. This includes the thalamus and/or mesial temporal structures (in particular the amygdala and hippocampus).

He did not know what had happened on 9/11. He did not remember the space shuttle Columbia disaster, which had occurred only the day before. He had forgotten our recent trip to Europe, and he thought we lived in a house we had sold 12 years earlier. A few hours after we returned home that evening, Ralph's memory had, for the most part returned, except for the previous eight hours. That has forever been erased."

I'd imagine that electrical singal flow was changed in that gys's braing regions responsible for short term "buffer" memory. Is there are any techniques to "trace" signals between neirons?

Transient Global Amnesia (TGA) Cause: Deactivation of the mesial temporal lobes and / or thalamus . External stresses can trigger attack such as: Strenuous exertion, sexual intercourse, immersion in water, and emotional events. Demographics/Epidemiology: More common in men and most often occurs between the ages of 50-80. 3 to 10 cases / 100,000 / year DSM IV Diagnosis/symptoms: Diagnosis criteria for 294.0 Amnestic Disorder The development of memory as manifested by impairment in the ability to learn new information or the inability to recall previously learned information. The memory disturbance causes significant impairment in social or occupational functioning and represents a significant decline from a previous level of functioning. The memory disturbance does not occur exclusively during the course of delirium or a dementia. There is evidence from a history, physical examination, or laboratory findings that the disturbance is the direct physiological consequence of a general medical condition (including physical trauma). Specify if Transient: if memory impairment lasts for 1 month or less Nature and extent of symptoms: withdraw/ headache/ dizziness/ nausea/ sleepiness permanent dense memory gap for period of attack dense anterograde amnesia for 4-6 hours.

Like other things on Serendip , the paper is not intended to be "authoritative" but is instead provided to encourage others to themselves learn about and think through subjects of interest, and, by providing relevant web links, to serve as a "window" to help them do so.

Biology 202 2002 First Paper On Serendip Transient Global Amnesia Miranda White A little while ago, my father and grandfather were driving in our car together. All of a sudden, my grandfather said that he was feeling dizzy and thought the beginnings of a migraine were coming on. My grandfather is extremely healthy and has an amazing memory, so my father was shocked when not long after, when grandfather asked where Ruthy, his recently deceased wife, was. When my father reminded him that she had died of cancer last year, my grandfather broke into tears, as if he was being told for the first time. In addition, he couldn't even remember what he had just eaten for dinner or any other events of the day. My father drove him straight to the emergency room, worried that he had perhaps just suffered a minor stoke. By the time that he got to the hospital, he was already beginning to regain some of the memories that had been lost. The doctors reassured him that it was not a stroke, but rather a memory disorder called transient global amnesia.

E xcerpted from the book: Lipitor Thief of Memory Statin Drugs and the Misguided War on Cholesterol by Duane Graveline, M.D. Now Available at Buy Books on the Web.com! Binding: Trade paperback Publisher: Infinity Publishing, Haverford, PA Date Published: January 2004 ISBN: Description: 156 pages; 5.5 x 8.5 (inches) Price: US$17.95 Source: Buy Books on the Web.com Excerpt: My personal introduction to the incredible world of TGA occurred six weeks after Lipitor The development of statin drugs was an inevitable phenomenon. Statin drugs, while curtailing cholesterol, must inevitably inhibit the production of other vital intermediary products that originate further down the metabolic pathway beyond the statin blockade. The pharmaceutical industry has long been attempting to develop a means by which interference with cholesterol production might be achieved beyond the point where these vital intermediary product originate but up to now have failed. The inevitability of significant, serious and even lethal side effects has been knowingly accepted. Ubiquinone coenzyme production is one of these collaterally damaged compounds of great concern. Biosynthesized in the mitochondriathe tiny powerhouse of the cell that is responsible for cellular respiration and energyubiquinone is mandatory for proper cardiac muscle function and the health and well being of muscle cells and peripheral nerves. In addition to statin myopathy and rhabdomyolysis we now are seeing peripheral neuropathy and congestive cardiac failure.

18. Cholesterol transient global amnesia ( TGA ) probably has been around as long as man but the first reported case of this bizarre theft of memory was made in 1955. http://www.spacedoc.net/Statins_flyer.html

Statins and the Flyer ( Potential Effect of Statin Drugs on Pilot Performance.) Doc Graveline Excerpted from the book: Lipitor , Thief of Memory , by Duane Graveline ( Currently in the publication process.) This potential problem of statin drug associated memory dysfunction while flying is further confounded by the reality that amnesia is but the tip of the iceberg of the many other forms of memory lapses that occur far more commonly. An increased tendency for disorientation, confusion and forgetfulness can be easy to miss in many individuals, for a certain degree of this is in the nature of all of us. And although I have focused this presentation directly on pilots and, by inference, flight crews, what of commercial truck and bus drivers and heavy equipment operators? What about the operators of dangerous tools? The list is limited only by one's imagination.

transient global amnesia Transient global amnesia (TGA) is a temporary and isolated disorder of memory. The patient is usually over 50 years old and an attack may last several hours. The patient with TGA: is neurologically intact except for absent memory asks pertinent questions repeatedly is unable to recall the episode once they have recovered Precipitating factors include sexual intercourse and heavy physical exercise, particularly swimming in cold water. There is a correlation between TGA and migraine. There is no excess of cerebrovascular disease in patients with TGA. There is no treatment. Click here for more information...
