Amnesia is a condition that severely disrupts the aptitude to create lifelong memories. Pertaining to the topic, the long-held hypothesis that our brains utilize diverse mechanisms for producing long-term and short-term memories has been confronted by a new study from UCL Institute for Cognitive Neuroscience. After observing patients with amnesia, this theory was created by neuroscientists. The team examined patients with a detailed type of epilepsy known as ‘temporal lobe epilepsy with bilateral hippocampal sclerosis’.
