Hi chemist,
Thanks for your information I will check it, when spare time is available. In medical school benzodiazepines education touch only the surface. You learn a lot of pharmakinetics, indications, and blabla but it is a poor fact that good quality knowledge about these receptors is rare (we are at the beginning to understand mechanisms of receptors, their substructures and role to the ligands. I will follow the interesting research as much as possible. We have extensive research in GABA-Receptors here at the institute). All I know in "practice" is that anterograde amnesia is mostly reversible (this is what most md's say in practice). But as always there are individuals right or left of the gauss curve and loss of memory could have other reasons e.g. age, problems with acetylcholine
