Common Questions and Answers about Long term memory part of the brain
memory
On 5/12/10 I started a new job that is extremly stressfull yet ive managed to keep the dose the same but I am having panic attacks, one in the middle of the night was severe. I seem to get mini attacks in the mornings, right as im waking up. I know that its addictive. What im wondering if long term use can affect the brain? Im very forgetful and misplace things all the time. I know that comes with age , I"ll be 60 in Oct.
my 19 year old son was shot in the face he lost his right eye and part of his frontal lobe does his anger outburts and sexual behavior continue forever or do they have issues like this when they are waking up more and more hes been in the hospital 6 months and hes just starting this and how long can it take for him to have the strength to walk on his own hes standing good but he still has trouble walking will he ever be able to lead a normal life college, driving, work?
Yes Fentanyl or any narcotic can effect our short term memories, regardless of our age. Physicians walk the fine line of memory impairment or pain management. It is my guess you would rather see your mother with some memory disturbances instead of dealing with chronic pain that would make her days and nights absolutely miserable.
I thought that in time, my brain would learn new ways to get around the damaged part of my brain and get better at remembering things and doing things, although recently it just seems to be getting a lot worse. Does anyone know the answer to this question? Does anyone have any advice in increasing my short term memory after 11 years of a brain injury? Thank you!!
It is the part of the nervous system that organizes and processes information in the brain. If someone asks you a question for example------ the brain takes in the words. It then processes them. It then organizes the thought. It then organizes the thought for the answer. It gets the "plan" together and it then sends the message back out to the motor muscles (mouth) to answer.
Although I have no problem remembering facts and figures and my short term memory is better than most, I have no long term memory of events. I know it's normal not to remember childhood, but I don't remember high school or college or anything I did there. In fact, my oldest memory is looking outside and seeing chairs on the lawn at my mom's birthday. That was two weeks ago and there only seems to be a vague, blank space before it. Memories just fade after a few weeks.
As the damaged part of the brain becomes less functional, all the info is moved to the other side, but it takes a while. So even if you have permenant damage, there's hope for full recovery. That story helps me. I'm only 6 months clean and am still waiting to feel totally stable. Don't be afraid of the doctor and be honest. 10 months is a huge step in the right direction, keep on keepin on.
it sounds like you have a brain injury that stems all the way back to your car accident. these type of problems you are describing are EXACTLY what happens with brain injuries. the sad thing is that most brain injuries go undiagnosed because they do not even show up on a brain scan - you only know that you have the injury by the type of symptoms you are having - confused, "air head", bad memory, fatigue, problems with short term memory and long term memory.
A close family member was told by his nuerologist "the memory part of brain is shrinking on both sides". He then set up an appointment with a sychiatrist. My question is why a sychiatrist.
My sister had a brain stroke after her brain surgery of her neuro cytoma tumor removal , she had a storke and almost 3/4 of her right of the brain was damaged on Jan 28 2010.... Now it is May 21 2010... she has the feeling returned to her left foot and can move on command as well as move her left hand's finger on command. Her physio therapy is going good with her walking with the help of belt and knee brace.
When those receptors shutdown, short term memory fails to become (transition into) long term memory. This happens because of the level of alcohol in Your blood. If You continue to drink this will happen again, sooner and more often, with time. Alcoholism IS progressive - and so is the damage. This I know is true.
Alcoholics are the last to realize they have a problem with alcohol. Alcoholics are the last to realize they are alcoholics. This too, I know is true.
Blueberries also help existing nerve cells in the brain to communicate with each other better. They even appear to encourage the growth of new nerve cells in the brain.
If Big Pharma came up with a drug that could grow new nerve cells in the brain. Not that it could (or would) ever happen, but can you imagine the headlines: "Grow New Brain Cells with Our Miracle Drug!!!!!" Sure, there would be the occasional side-effects, like your head exploding. But that's a small risk.
How long term? 6 months to a year is not that long to be on it, but if you are thinking like 5 to 10 years is more longer term. It is all definitely possible if it is needed, some times a drug will lose its ability to work after a while so has to be changed with another but I think if it works now then that's great and don't worry about the future to much, what will happen will happen. Sorry don't know about the memory and side effects long term.
If your brain has a problem it will make a noise---severe headaches, vomiting, loss of sensation, muscle weakness etc etc. You may have short term or long term memory loss, if it involves a specific area of the brain concerned with memory. Do not worry. Nothing like this is going to happen. As I said earlier a man’s brain is actually quite safe. The smack is just like we hit our head against a door or something by mistake.
Relax! Concentrate on your studies. I am sure you will do well.
After coratid artery surgery, experiencing memory loss which is not consistently short term or long term, is it possible for the brain to reconfigure areas damaged by particles that passed through the filter and regain the ability to remember?

He's only been off for 2 days. We think the memory loss goes back years, but didn't become an 'issue' until we did a lifestyle change (moving to a new area). He has developed anxiety which we think is secondary to the short-term memory loss. We think the memory loss has increased, but it's kind of mixed up with the anxiety. We HOPE the memory loss is directly related to the Ambien, and being off of it will he return to 'normal'?
