ABSTRACT
Although clinical reports suggest that P-blockers may induce memory loss in some patients'::!.D. controlled laboratory investigations have so far generally failed to find consistent effects of i)-blockers on memory"'·'4 • However. previous studies generally investigated memory for relatively unemotional events and typically studied only short-term memory. Future research using P-blockers with different affinities for p, and p, receptors and differential effectiveness in passing the blood-brain barrier should clarify the role of the P-adrenergic system in regulating long-tenn memory for emotional experiences.
