Transient epileptic amnesia by J. S. Anužytė, G. Rutkauskaitė, R. Mameniškienė

“…From case reports that are analysed in literature it is not difficult to summarise clinical characteristics: transient epileptic amnesia usually starts later in life, more often in men than in women; amnestic episodes are brief, recurrent and often occur upon waking; memory loss is usually mixed type with anterograde and retrograde amnesia; in 65% of patients amnesia is associated with gustatory or olfactory hallucinations, déjà vu, a brief period of unresponsiveness, automatisms; epileptiform abnormalities on electroencephalography were seen in 43% cases; although transient epileptic amnesia has an excellent response rate to anticonvulsant therapy, between episodes patients still suffer from accelerated long-term forgetting, remote memory impairment and topographical amnesia. …”

Genomic evidence of improved fertility and adaptation in Iranian domestic sheep attributed to introgression from Asiatic Mouflon and urial by Reza Khalkhali-Evrigh, Nemat Hedayat, Reza Seyedsharifi, Mirdarioush Shakouri, Eric N. Ponnampalam

“…The study found important genes in these regions that are involved in fertility (TTC29, STPG2), spatial memory and learning (CAMK1G), taste perception (OTOP1), visual system (DYRK2) and olfactory (LOC101110674). The results demonstrate that most genes affected by introgression between wild and domestic sheep are related to survival, reproduction and adaptation. …”
