Memory Modulation by Pain During Anesthesia

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of pain on facilitating long-term auditory memory in the presence and absence of distinct intravenous anesthetics. The ability to identify previously presented words from a list assessed the degree of memory formation. In a subset of subjects, functional magnetic resonance imaging was used to identify the neural correlates of memory inhibition or facilitation by the combination of pain and anesthetic used.
