The studies are from MEDLINE. It basically lists all the medical research done since the 1950s. If you want do a search, you can get access at the link I've posted below. If you do a search, use the generic name "citalopram" instead of "celexa". You can add 2 or more words like "citalopram" "memory" "cognitive", etc. When the studies come up you can also follow related articles by clicking on that.
To the best of my knowledge, not much research has been done on the long-term effects of celexa and other SSRIs primarily because they haven't been around as long as benzos. Some research does suggest some memory impairment with some SSRIs in the short-term but there are a few other studies (one was with celexa) that actually suggests memory improvement (at least in the short-term). I don't think the few short-term studies done with SSRIs are very conclusive or useful.
