	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.
		Damage to the hippocampus, fornix, or mammillary bodies can result in anterograde amnesia, which contributes further evidence to the theory that these are the structures primarily responsible for the process of laying down long-term memories.
		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 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In anterograde amnesia, new events are not transferred to long-term memory, so the sufferer will not be able to remember anything that occurs after the onset of this type of amnesia for more than a few moments.
		Traumatic amnesia is often transient; the duration of the amnesia is related to the degree of injury and may give an indication of the prognosis for recovery of other functions.
		Psychogenic amnesia results from a psychological cause as opposed to direct damage to the brain caused by head injury, physical trauma or disease, which is known as organic amnesia.

	Memory Loss & the Brain
		Anterograde amnesia is a selective memory deficit, resulting from brain injury, in which the individual is severely impaired in learning new information.
		In practice, this means that an individual with amnesia may have good memory for childhood and for the years before the injury, but may remember little or nothing from the years since.
		Anterograde amnesia can also occur following damage to the basal forebrain, a group of structures which produce acetylcholine, a chemical which helps cells in the brain store new information during learning.

		Anterograde amnesia is a deficit in learning subsequent to the onset of the disorder.
		Amnesia is usually caused either by physical injury to the brain or by the ingestion of a toxic substance which affects the brain.

	Amnesia:Organic and Psychogenic
		Anterograde amnesia (AA) refers to impairment in learning new material; it is commonly used synonymously with PTA, although, in traumatic cases, such impairment may persist long after the termination of PTA.
		In studies of anterograde amnesia, they show a disproportionate difficulty in recalling the temporal sequence of events, the place where something was learned (spatial context), and the source of information even when the information itself has been recalled.
		In these studies, amnesia was found rarely or not at all in non-violent crime: this may have reflected the locations of the studies, but there is evidence that in violent crime recall by victims and eyewitnesses is also impaired.

	Aggleton, John P. & Brown, Malcolm W. (1999) Episodic memory, amnesia, and the hippocampal-anterior thalamic axis.
		The distinction between temporal lobe and diencephalic amnesia is of limited value because a common feature of anterograde amnesia is damage to part of an "extended hippocampal system" comprising the hippocampus, the fornix, the mamillary bodies and the anterior thalamic nuclei.
		Anterograde amnesia is typified by a failure to acquire or retain `episodic' information (Tulving 1983) that occurred after the onset of brain injury.
		Although it is often assumed that temporal lobe amnesia is principally a consequence of damage to the hippocampus, it remains to be confirmed whether such damage is sufficient to induce amnesia.

	Memory Loss & the Brain
		This does happen, but it's much more common for people to develop anterograde amnesia from a stroke, viral encephalitis, chronic epilepsy, or the interruption of the brain's oxygen supply due to near-drowning or strangulation (hypoxia or anoxia).
		People with anterograde amnesia often cannot remember the trauma that caused their memory loss as well as some memories of events just before the trauma.
		Scientists theorize that this loss of past memories, or retrograde amnesia, occurs because harm to the hippocampus has disrupted the process of consolidation, by which recent memories are gradually transformed into enduring long-term memories.

		For example, after a person suffers brain damage from a head injury, he/she may be unable to remember events that occur after the brain injury, such as being in the hospital.
		Compare anterograde amnesia with retrograde amnesia, which is a loss or disturbance of memory for events that occurred before a trauma, disease, or a traumatic emotional event that caused the memory disturbance.
		Anterograde amnesia comes from the Latin word "antero" meaning "foremost or front," the Greek word "a" meaning "without," and the Greek word "mnemonic," meaning "memory." Put the words together and you have"without the front (part of) memory," referring to memories after a trauma or disease happened.

		Anterograde amnesics show explicit memory for events or actions at near-chance levels, whereas they show implicit memory for events or actions at near-normal levels.
		If syntactic persistence is attributable to implicit learning, then anterograde amnesics should repeat the syntactic structures of sentences they can't explicitly remember.
