Anterograde amnesia is a type of memory loss that affects a person's ability to form new memories after a specific event, such as a brain injury or illness. Individuals with this condition can recall memories from before the event but struggle to remember anything that occurs afterward. This can significantly impact daily life, as they may forget conversations, appointments, or new information. The condition is often associated with damage to the hippocampus, a brain region crucial for memory formation. Anterograde amnesia can result from various causes, including traumatic brain injury, stroke, or certain medications. Treatment focuses on coping strategies and rehabilitation to help manage the effects of memory loss.
