Supra-normal age-linked retrograde amnesia: lessons from an older amnesic (H.M.).

29 Apr 2009 MacKay and James (2001) demonstrated greater-than-normal retrograde amnesia (RA) for lexical-semantic information in amnesic H.M., a deficit that worsened with aging or represented supranormal age-linked RA (SARA). The present experiments extend ... Read more...

Early stage assessment and course of acute stress disorder after mild traumatic brain injury.

27 Feb 2009 Although it has been established that acute stress disorder (ASD) and posttraumatic stress disorder occur after mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) the qualitative differences in symptom presentation between injury survivors with and without a MTBI ... Read more...

Injury and recovery: severe amnestic syndrome following traumatic brain injury.

30 Dec 2008 PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: To illustrate the clinical course of a patient with a marked amnestic syndrome resulting from a closed head injury that had significant effects on frontal and thalamic memory structures. METHODS AND PROCEDURES: The patient ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Amnesia, Retrograde'

Definition: Loss of the ability to recall information that had been previously encoded in memory prior to a specified or approximate point in time. This process may be organic or psychogenic in origin. Organic forms may be associated with CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA; CEREBROVASCULAR ACCIDENTS; SEIZURES; DEMENTIA; and a wide variety of other conditions that impair cerebral function. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp426-9)
