Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Previous reports showed the potential of midazolam to attenuate the flash back caused by PTSD. Nobody knows if this effect is mediated by the attenuation of autonomic nerve response or the erasure of the adverse memory itself. This study aims to discriminate these two factors. We revealed that midazolam does not the erase memory itself but attenuates the autonomic nerve response.
