Retrograde Amnesia

Retrograde amnesia is a type of memory loss that affects a person's ability to recall information and experiences from before a specific event, such as an injury or trauma. People with this condition may struggle to remember facts, events, or personal memories that existed prior to the onset of amnesia. While new memories can often be formed after the event, the memories formed before may be inaccessible. The severity and extent of retrograde amnesia can vary, affecting only certain time periods or types of knowledge. It highlights the complex relationship between memory and brain function.
