	Anterograde amnesia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Anterograde amnesia is a form of amnesia, or memory loss, where new events are not transferred to long-term memory.
		The final cause of anterograde amnesia is damage to a set of structures which are located deep in the brain called the diencephalon.
		The most famous case of anterograde amnesia is that of HM or Henry M., the man whose lesions accidentally started the inquiry into the neurobiology of learning and memory.

	Amnesia
		Amnesia is a large-scale loss of memories that otherwise would be unlikely to be forgotten, such as important life experiences and people, or things you have just been taught or told.
		Amnesia is often the symptom of a degenerative brain disease, such as Alzheimer’s disease, or may result from a traumatic injury to the brain.
		Amnesia is most commonly associated with either brain damage through injury or degeneration of brain cells in dementia.

	BODY STORY - Crash: 'Amnesia'
		Amnesia (memory loss) is usually one of the first problems people experience after a head injury, and it is one of the last of the cognitive functions — that is, functions to do with knowing and being aware — to return.
		Unlike amnesia due to emotional trauma, amnesia that results from a brain injury cannot be rectified with hypnosis or counselling.
		With retrograde amnesia, some patients find that, at first, they cannot recall events that occurred months or years prior to the onset of their memory loss, but that over time the forgotten period shrinks to weeks, days or even hours.

		The story for Amnesia is interesting and almost comes together, but at the same time doesn't.
		I got the impression that Amnesia was a much larger story that found itself compressed into 64 pages; as a result of the effort to try and fit it into the pagecount, a lot of it fell to the sidelines.
		I don't mind a story where you need to piece parts of it together, but Amnesia seemed at times to be missing transitions from scene to scene, or even within.

	FANTASIES.COM - Adult Story - Smiling, Amnesia By CeleenaSharif
		Amnesia gently held her hands over Soheila's head, petting the thick locks, caressing what of her face that could be touched, and simply loving her in a way she could have once loved Celeste, had Celeste stayed, and not died, not that she could help either.
		Amnesia's eyes rolled into the back of her head, her arms falling limply aside, not because she hurt, but because the pleasure was so much that she could not contain it.
		Amnesia's body was covered in deep bite marks from her shoulders to her loins, bruises that would last a week, purple and then to a soft yellow, some so sore she'd shrink back from the touch of anyone who might try to invade her.

		Poor Allison was run over and fell into a coma, only to wake, have amnesia and be unable to recognize her own father, who had come back to town after doing time in prison.
		But this type of memory loss — transient global amnesia — is rare in real life and is usually caused by some kind of psychological trauma.
		With this kind of amnesia, there's one way for Claire to come out of it: "Something will spark her memory," Myers says.

	WHEN THE PAST DISAPPEARS
		The estimate of pre-traumatic amnesia is usually obtained months or years after the injury and is often difficult to obtain with precision, especially when the patient's daily schedule prior to the injury was fairly routine.
		They emphasized the dangers of underestimating the duration of post-traumatic amnesia by using 'ishmds of memory' to indicate the end of the amnesia, or by assuming that if the patient is aware of things going on around him, he may necessarily be able to recall these at a later date.
		Retrograde amnesia may be separated into two classes: (1) a temporary long period that gradually shrinks during the recovery period, and (2) a permanent RA that is of short duration and persists after recovery.

	Loss of Consciousness from Brain Injury versus Amnesia
		Traumatic amnesia is brain damage caused by a severe non-penetrative blow to the head, such as in a road accident.
		Retrograde amnesia is the inability to retrieve information that had been stored prior to the onset of the amnesia.
		Studies of chronic alcoholics with the Wernicker-Korsakoff syndrome have shown to have damage within limbic diencephalic structures such as the mammillary bodies, the mediodorsal nucleus of the thalamus, and the medieval pulvinar which are all located in the medial temporal lobe (6)..

	Vid Ingelevics - museum of a man
		Dubbed "David" by the media, the story became quite prominent in Canada during 1985-86 as the mystery of who he was deepened.
		In the end, David serves a short sentence for the car theft, is revealed to have a Canadian father, was brought to Canada by a news reporter he became romantically involved with and then disappears again.
		However, unlike human memory the museum's acts of exclusion are conscious and point to the flaw at the heart of the museum - the actual impossibility of representing the past.

	All About Romance: Amnesia in Romance
		Amnesia may be caused by brain injury, oxygen deprivation, stroke, brain hemorrhage, brain infections, delirium, substance abuse, transient global amnesia and a number of dementing illnesses.
		Some romance novel constants that a TBI patient with total amnesia and identity confusion is not likely to experience include taking good care of her daily business although she can't remember anything, being successful in private detecting, and a sudden improvement in the quality of her sex life.
		Amnesia does not preclude romantic love and happy ever after but it definitely makes relationships more demanding for the other person, who might have to take on a caretaker role in addition to the lover and partner roles and adjust to the patient's other symptoms.

		Liz believes that story for only a little longer than readers will, and she soon finds herself on the run from a gallery of threatening figures, heading for Paris in the company of a very neatly introduced fellow agent and incipient love interest.
		While such a device is probably a necessary element of a story involving amnesia, it is also used in other contexts as well to tie up loose ends much more completely than is often the case.
		While this was probably unavoidable given the construction of the story and the structure of the plot, I felt that it was enough of a negative to slightly reduce my rating.

		This inspired collection consists of short stories, novel excerpts and essays that deal with the subject of memory loss, a convenient affliction that over the years has served countless writers and filmmakers well, perhaps too well.
		Others appropriate the amnesia metaphor for more "literary" purposes, explorating not only memory (the narrator of Christopher Priest's "The Affirmation" discovers "that recollection was only partial, that the artistic re-creation of the past constituted a higher truth than mere memory") but also time, identity and reality.
		Dick's "I Hope I Shall Arrive Soon" tells the story of a troubled space traveler who must endure a 10-year flight as his ship's computer feeds him his "buried memories." Shirley's "Nightmare" is just that, an unsettling dreamscape of a secretary trapped in an urban mystery.

		If we are going to write our way out of this war story, one of the things we need is a sustained project of historical re-membering that counters the anti-memory campaign of militaristic calls to "Remember 9-11" as rage-inducing fuel for the war narrative.
