What is "amnestic"

Usage examples of "amnestic".

The reports of the amnestic effects of protein synthesis inhibitors were first ignored, often on the same sorts of a priori grounds that had led to my initial scepticism, and only after some struggle accepted by these definers of the field.

From half an hour after training, to as long as twenty-four hours afterwards, it was possible to detect an increase in protein synthesis in the brain regions containing IMHV - a result which of course squared with the known amnestic effects of the inhibitors of protein synthesis.

Thus post-training LPO lesions, which otherwise would be amnestic, should now no longer be.

We knew that such a lesion is not itself amnestic, and the model predicts that with such a right IMHV lesion, the memory trace should simply stay in the left IMHV, because there is no route by which it can escape.

I recently contacted a Japanese biochemist, asking him to supply me with a small sample of a substance to test for possible amnestic effect in the chicks.

And if this model were correct, then a pre-training right IMHV lesion, already shown not to be amnestic by itself, would disrupt this flow, and post-training LPO lesions, otherwise amnestic, would no longer be so because the memory would have been stranded in the left IMHV.

It was his home-from-home, his safe haven, his general amnestic, his painless admission of defeat.

I think weve got a psychedelic drug with some calming properties as well as some amnestic properties.
