Retrograde Amnesia

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Retrograde amnesia is the loss of memories formed before the onset of brain injury or illness.

Show

A patient after head injury recalls childhood clearly and loses the preceding several years.

Watch for

Loss is usually graded, with recent memories most affected. Total biographical loss is rare outside fiction.
