Amnesia is a neurological condition characterized by partial or complete loss of memory, arising from damage to or dysfunction of the brain regions responsible for encoding, storing, and retrieving memories, particularly the hippocampus and surrounding medial temporal lobe structures. It is broadly divided into retrograde amnesia, the inability to recall information or events from before the onset, and anterograde amnesia, the inability to form new memories after the onset. Amnesia can result from head injury, stroke, infection, oxygen deprivation, certain drugs or toxins, neurodegenerative disease, or, in some cases, severe psychological stress. Distinguishing the type, time course, and underlying cause is central to diagnosis and management within neurology. Research published in this journal illustrates the clinical breadth of the topic: one report documents retrograde amnesia and disorientation following intraocular injection of anti-VEGF agents, highlighting how memory disturbance can emerge as an unexpected complication, while a related study examines dissociative amnesia as a therapeutic challenge, addressing memory loss with a psychological rather than structural origin. Together these cases reflect both the organic and dissociative dimensions of memory disorders. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to amnesia and the broader study of memory and its disorders.
