amnesia

Sunday, 28 February 2016

People will anterograde amnesia are unable to form new long term memories after the moment of an accident or the inset of illness.

People with retrograde amnesia have difficulty retrieving memories from the period of time before the amnesia began.

The duration of amnesia depends on the cause. If the disruption of brain function is temporary (as in a moderate blow to the head that causes a concussion), most of the lost memory may come back, although memories formed just before and soon after the damage occurred are usually lost forever.
