The behavioral effects of two β‐adrenergic receptor antagonists, selected to represent
differing lipophilicity, were evaluated in a double‐blind, single‐dose, parallel‐group study. A …

β‐Adrenergic‐inhibiting drugs are widely prescribed for the treatment of hypertension.
These drugs have previously been found to influence a variety of psychologic and …

The effect of β-adrenergic receptor blockade on retention in a mildly aversive passive-
avoidance procedure was investigated. Rats were given passive-avoidance training—1 trial …

The widespread use of beta blockers in treatment of both cardiovascular and nonvascular
conditions has generated interest in changes in functions of the central nervous system …

Substantial evidence from animal research indicates that enhanced memory associated with
emotional experiences involves activation of the β-adrenergic system. This hypothesis is …

• This study describes a specific memory impairment in subjects taking either of two kinds of
centrally active antihypertensive agents. Verbal memory impairment was present in …

1. The aim of the study was to investigate whether there were differential effects of three
different anti‐hypertensive medications (cilazapril, atenolol, nifedipine) on cognitive function …

Improvement in the efficacy of newer antihypertensive agents has resulted in consideration
of the side effects of drug therapy. Impairment of memory function resulting from …

Injection of a beta-adrenergic blocker, propranolol, in rats within 5 min after training of a step-
