After a severe traumatic event that causes loss of consciousness, retrograde amnesia frequently is found once the person regains consciousness. What is retrograde amnesia, and how much time does it typically cover in this situation? What neural mechanism or process explains the loss of memory?
Describe a synaptic mechanism underlying the formation of memory.
Describe evidence showing that the hippocampus is involved in the consolidation of short-termmemory. After long-term memory is established, why may there be no need for hippocampal involvement?
