| pubmed-article:8498815 | pubmed:abstractText | We studied the persistent antegrade memory impairment in a woman whose brain had been surgically impaled, leaving a 1-cm-wide mediobasal tract of encephalomalacia that extended just anterior to the septal nuclei and medial to the nucleus accumbens. In a blinded, controlled, alternating repeated-measures protocol, bromocriptine significantly improved her verbal learning, functional memory, and daily recall, perhaps by acting on neurons that had been disconnected from the ventral tegmental tract's dopaminergic inputs. | lld:pubmed |
