1. Retrograde amnesia

   In neurology, retrograde amnesia (RA) is a loss of memory-access to events that occurred or information that was learned in the past. It is caused by an injury or the onset of a disease. It tends to negatively affect episodic, autobiographical, and declarative memory, while keeping procedural memory intact without increasing difficulty for learning new information. RA can be temporally graded, or more permanent based on the severity of its cause. It is usually consistent with Ribot's law. The law states that subjects are more likely to lose memories closer to the traumatic incident than more memories that happened further from the incident. The type of information that is forgotten can range from a specific memory, such as a single event, or a more general memory. This would resemble generic amnesia. Anterograde amnesia is a similar condition that deals with the inability to form new memories following the onset of an injury or disease.

1. retrograde amnesia

   Retrograde amnesia is a type of memory loss where a person is unable to recall events, information or experiences that occurred before the onset of the amnesia, often as a result of brain trauma or damage. This can include both episodic memories (specific events or experiences) and semantic memories (general knowledge or facts). The extent and severity of the amnesia can vary greatly depending on the individual and the cause of the amnesia. However, unlike anterograde amnesia, those with retrograde amnesia typically retain the ability to form new memories after the onset of their condition.

1. Retrograde amnesia

   Retrograde amnesia is a loss of memory-access to events that occurred, or information that was learned, before an injury or the onset of a disease. RA is often temporally graded, consistent with Ribot's Law: subjects are more likely to lose recent memories that are closer to the traumatic incident than more remote memories.
