[Memory disorders due to extreme impacts and their pharmacological correction]

Area of Science:

• Neuroscience
• Pharmacology
• Environmental Health

Background:

• Extreme environmental factors significantly impact human and animal cognitive and memory processes.
• Understanding these effects is crucial for developing protective strategies.
• Existing literature provides data on various stressors, including SHF electromagnetic radiation, motion sickness, and hypoxia.

Purpose of the Study:

• To review the effects of diverse extreme impacts on cognitive and memory functions.
• To evaluate the potential of pharmacological interventions, particularly nootropic drugs, for correcting memory disorders.
• To analyze the underlying mechanisms of protective action by pharmacological agents.

Main Methods:

• Literature review and synthesis of existing data.
• Analysis of studies on cognitive and memory processes under extreme conditions.
• Examination of pharmacological correction strategies and their mechanisms.

Main Results:

• Extreme impacts such as SHF electromagnetic radiation, motion sickness, and hypoxia demonstrably impair cognitive and memory functions.
• Nootropic drugs show potential in mitigating anamnestic disorders resulting from these extreme exposures.
• Pharmacological substances may exert protective effects through various analyzed mechanisms.

Conclusions:

• Cognitive and memory functions are vulnerable to a range of extreme environmental stressors.
• Pharmacological interventions, especially nootropics, offer a promising avenue for managing stress-induced cognitive deficits.
• Further research into the mechanisms of neuroprotection is warranted to optimize therapeutic strategies.
