Amnesia Parallels

I chose an article about the experiment of mouse retrograde amnesia and the influence of it on research on human retrograde oblivion. This article was written by Dr. Larry R. Squire. And Dr. Curt W. Spanis Dr. Squier is a professor of psychiatry, neuroscience and psychology at Veterans Administration Hospital in San Diego, California. Dr. Spanis is a professor of biology at the University of San Diego. The purpose of this study was to establish stability between mouse and human outcomes in retrograde amnesia (Squire, 1984, p. 345).

Psychological oblivion is defined as the presence of retrograde amnesia (the memory that leads to memory loss can not be acquired) and the absence of antegrade oblivion (a new long-term memory can not be formed). You can prevent access to episodic memory, but the degree of impairment of short-term memory, semantic memory, and procedural memory is considered different depending on the situation. If other memory processes are affected, they are usually much less affected than retrograde autobiographical memories, which are seen as signs of psychogenic oblivion. However, extensive fluctuation in memory impairment in cases of psychogenic amnesia raises questions about its true neuropsychological criteria, but a number of studies have been conducted on various cases, but psychogenic oblivion What is memory impairment specificity? Reach an agreement.

"Memory loss" is a general term that can not recall a particular memory, or in some cases can not form a new memory. Several types of amnesia are due to neurological trauma, but in other cases the term "amnesia" is used to express normal memory loss, such as not remembering childhood memory It is used only. Retrograde amnesia can not remember memory before the onset of amnesia. Retrograde amnesia is usually caused not by the hippocampus but by head trauma or partial brain damage in the brain (related to the coding process of the new memory). A brain disorder that causes retrograde amnesia may be as varied as cerebrovascular disorder, stroke, tumor, hypoxia, encephalitis or chronic alcohol dependence.
