  Amnesia refers to the loss of memories, including facts, information and experiences. […] Instead, people with amnesia also called amnestic syndrome usually know who they are. But they may have trouble learning new information and forming new memories. […] The two main features of amnesia are: Trouble learning new information. Trouble remembering past events and previously familiar information. […] Most people with amnesia have problems with short-term memory, so they can’t retain new information. Recent memories are most likely to be lost. More-remote or deeply ingrained memories may be spared. […] Isolated memory loss doesn’t affect a person’s intelligence, general knowledge, awareness or attention span. It also doesn’t affect judgment, personality or identity. […] Amnesia isn’t the same as dementia. Dementia often includes memory loss but also involves other problems with thinking that lead to a decline in daily functioning.

  When you have anterograde amnesia, you can’t form new memories. This effect can be temporary. For example, you can experience it during a blackout caused by too much alcohol. It can also be permanent. You can experience it if the area of your brain known as the hippocampus is damaged. Your hippocampus plays an important role in forming memories. […] Most people hospitalized for a traumatic brain injury experience post-traumatic amnesia (PTA). PTA may occur after a period of unconsciousness. You’re awake, but you may behave and speak in a bizarre manner that’s not like yourself. You may not be able to remember events from minutes or hours ago. […] Amnesia has a variety of causes. […] When your hippocampus is impaired, you’ll have difficulty forming new memories. If your hippocampus is damaged in both halves of your brain, you can develop complete anterograde amnesia.

  In retrograde amnesia, some types of memories are spared more than others. For example, loss of episodic memories is more common than loss of semantic memories. […] Anterograde amnesia is characterised by the inability to create new memories. Patients with anterograde amnesia have intact short-term memory and can recall the events before their injury but cannot remember anything new that has happened since. […] Transient anterograde amnesia can be induced by alcohol or drug consumption, causing a blackout, during which the brain cannot transfer memories from the short-term to the long-term store. […] Amnesia is caused by neurological damage resulting from surgery, head injury, stroke, viral infections or neurological diseases. […] Anterograde amnesia is caused by damage to the medial temporal lobes, particularly to the hippocampus and neighbouring regions.

• #1 Retrograde Amnesia: Definition, Signs, Causes, and Treatment

  https://www.verywellmind.com/retrograde-amnesia-definition-signs-causes-and-treatment-6560983

  Retrograde amnesia is a form of memory loss that involves an inability to access memories formed before the onset of amnesia. It is caused by damage to the regions of the brain associated with memory storage. It affects retrograde memory, which is defined as information that occurred before a particular point in time, such as the onset of a brain injury or other type of condition. […] Retrograde amnesia is sometimes temporary but can also be permanent or progressive. The severity and duration of this type of amnesia depend on what is causing it. […] The symptoms of retrograde amnesia can vary depending on the nature and severity of the injury. Common signs that a person may experience include: Not being able to remember events that occurred before the onset of amnesia, Forgetting facts and general knowledge that they learned before the onset of amnesia, Not being able to remember names, faces, places, dates, and other facts that were learned before the injury occurred, Retaining skills and abilities that were burned before the onset of amnesia, Being able to recall older long-term memories such as events that occurred during childhood.

  https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/transient-global-amnesia/symptoms-causes/syc-20378531

  Transient global amnesia is an episode of confusion that comes on suddenly in a person who is otherwise alert. […] During an episode of transient global amnesia, a person is unable to create new memory, so the memory of recent events disappears. You can’t remember where you are or how you got there. You may not remember anything about what’s happening right now. You may keep repeating the same questions because you don’t remember the answers you’ve just been given. You may also draw a blank when asked to remember things that happened a day, a month or even a year ago. […] The main symptom of transient global amnesia is being unable to create new memories and remember the recent past. Once that symptom is confirmed, ruling out other possible causes of amnesia is important. […] You must have these signs and symptoms to be diagnosed with transient global amnesia: Sudden onset of confusion that includes memory loss, seen by a witness; Being awake and alert and knowing who you are, despite memory loss; Normal cognition, such as the ability to recognize and name familiar objects and follow simple directions; No signs of damage to a particular area of the brain, such as being unable to move an arm or leg, movements you can’t control, or problems understanding words.

  Dissociative amnesia is a type of dissociative disorder that involves inability to recall important personal information that would not typically be lost with ordinary forgetting. […] The main symptom of dissociative amnesia is memory loss that is inconsistent with normal forgetfulness. The amnesia may be for a discrete period of time, for certain types of experiences, or for large portions of childhood. […] Localized amnesia involves being unable to recall a specific event or events or a specific period of time; these gaps in memory are usually related to trauma or stress. […] Selective amnesia involves forgetting only some of the events during a certain period of time or only part of a traumatic event. […] In generalized amnesia, patients forget their identity and life historyeg, who they are, where they went, to whom they spoke, and what they did, said, thought, experienced, and felt.

  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK442001/

  Transient global amnesia is a sudden onset of anterograde amnesia accompanied by a temporary period of retrograde amnesia, primarily affecting middle-aged and older individuals. These episodes typically last from 1 to 24 hours. […] Characterized by a combination of retrograde and anterograde amnesia, patients with transient global amnesia often repeat the same questions during the episode. They may experience disorientation regarding people and places but retain self-awareness. The condition is benign, typically resolving without recurrence and leaving no lasting neurological deficits. […] Once resolved, the symptoms of transient global amnesia rarely recur. When the patient recovers from the transient global amnesia episode, the retrograde amnesia recovers in a telescopic manner, with the most remote memory recovering before more recent events. The events occurring during the amnesic episode are typically permanently lost. No other neurological deficits are present with this condition.
