Wikipedia

  1. Anterograde amnesia

    In neurology, anterograde amnesia is the inability to create new memories after the event that caused amnesia, leading to a partial or complete inability to recall the recent past, while long-term memories from before the event remain intact. This is in contrast to retrograde amnesia, where memories created prior to the event are lost while new memories can still be created. Both can occur together in the same patient. To a large degree, anterograde amnesia remains a mysterious ailment because the precise mechanism of storing memories is not yet well understood, although it is known that the regions of the brain involved are certain sites in the temporal cortex, especially in the hippocampus and nearby subcortical regions.

  1. anterograde amnesia

    Anterograde amnesia is a form of memory loss where the person affected is unable to form new memories following the onset of the condition, while long-term memories from before the event remain intact. This means they may not remember new people they meet, events they have attended, or conversations they have had, while still remembering their childhood and the skills they have learned in the past. This condition is often caused by damage to specific areas of the brain that control memory processing and consolidation.
