Anterograde Amnesia

Anterograde amnesia is a memory disorder that affects a person's ability to form new memories after the onset of the condition. While they can recall memories from before the event that caused the amnesia (like an accident or illness), they struggle to remember new information or experiences. This can make it difficult to learn new facts, recognize people, or maintain conversations over time. Anterograde amnesia often results from damage to specific areas of the brain, such as the hippocampus, which plays a crucial role in memory formation.
