Health Topics Category Index Health Topics for Mental and Emotional Health Department of Psychiatry Amnesia Amnesia refers to loss of memory and is often the result of a traumatic event. There are two basic types of amnesia: anterograde and retrograde. Retrograde amnesia is a loss of memory that occurs before the time of the event. For example, you forget something that happened before you got hit on the head. Anterograde amnesia is a loss of memory that occurs after the time of the event, such as forgetting something that happened after having surgery. Contrary to popular opinion, anterograde amnesia is probably more common. Most people with amnesia experience a loss related to specific time periods. The movie image of forgetting everything about your personal past but remembering everything to do with daily functioning is a myth. Most amnesia is due to physical causes. These include: a blow to the head stroke poisoning substance abuse vitamin deficiency malnutrition and dementia Amnesia should always be considered serious enough to call for a full evaluation by a healthcare provider. However, it is common to experience a certain amount of memory loss around a severe injury. For example, many people involved in a severe car accident may experience both types of amnesia. This does not necessarily indicate any severe or lasting damage. Many people experience a certain amount of amnesia after surgery. A specific type of amnesia is called transient global amnesia, or TGA. TGA is caused by a problem related to decreased blood flow in the brain. It may happen to someone only once or many times. Another type of amnesia is psychogenic amnesia. This is amnesia caused by a psychological trauma. People with this amnesia may forget events around a terrible incident, such as witnessing the violent death of a loved one. Unlike amnesia caused by physical factors, these memories can often be retrieved by psychotherapy or hypnosis. Sometimes the memories return on their own.

Squire, University of California, San Diego, CA Amnesia (neurological amnesia and functional amnesia) refers to difficulty in learning new information or in remembering the past. Neurological amnesia is characterized by a loss of declarative memory . Declarative memory refers to conscious knowledge of facts and events. In contrast, nondeclarative memory, which refers to a collection of non-conscious knowledge systems, is largely thought to remain intact. The terms explicit and implicit memory are sometimes used and have approximately the same meanings as declarative and nondeclarative, respectively. Neurological amnesia occurs following brain injury or disease that damages the medial temporal lobe or medial diencephalon. Neurological amnesia causes severe difficulty in learning new facts and events (anterograde amnesia). Patients with neurological amnesia also typically have some difficulty remembering facts and events that were acquired before the onset of amnesia (retrograde amnesia). Functional amnesia is rarer than neurological amnesia and can occur as the result of an emotional trauma. It presents as a different pattern of anterograde and retrograde memory impairment than neurological amnesia. Functional amnesia is characterized by a profound retrograde amnesia with little or no anterograde amnesia. In some cases, patients fully recover. Functional amnesia is a psychiatric disorder, and there is no particular brain structure or region whose damage is known to underlie this condition.

MEMENTO Christopher Nolan A partir de la repercusión que originaron películas como Tiempos violentos (Pulp Fiction, Quentin Tarantino - 1994) o Los sospechosos de siempre (The Usual Suspects, Bryan Singer - 1995), el cine norteamericano se ha poblado de dos tipos de historias: por un lado, aquellas que alteran la tradición narrativa de introducción, nudo y desenlace; y por otro lado, aquellas que mediante algún giro drástico en la historia dejan descolocado al espectador que la venía siguiendo atentamente. A partir de la repercusión que originaron películas como Tiempos violentos Pulp Fiction Quentin Tarantino - 1994) o Los sospechosos de siempre The Usual Suspects Bryan Singer - 1995), el cine norteamericano se ha poblado de dos tipos de historias: por un lado, aquellas que alteran la tradición narrativa de introducción, nudo y desenlace; y por otro lado, aquellas que mediante algún giro drástico en la historia dejan descolocado al espectador que la venía siguiendo atentamente. En Memento , la segunda obra del director inglés Christopher Nolan - basada en un cuento corto de su hermano Jonathan Nolan-, se juntan las dos características mencionadas precedentemente. Por un lado, la historia es contada desde el final hasta el principio (con algunas licencias). Para introducirnos en esta particular manera de contar la historia, la película comienza con una escena realmente lograda: el primer plano de una Polaroid donde se ve a un hombre muerto que con el correr de los títulos va perdiendo nitidez hasta volverse completamente oscura. Inmediatamente después vemos como la foto se introduce en la cámara, cómo la sangre vuelve al cuerpo del hombre muerto, cómo las balas se vuelven a introducir en el revolver, etc. (como dato anecdótico el sitio del film es www.otnemem.com). Los saltos temporales que realiza el director (de lo más reciente a lo más viejo), sirve para que el espectador vaya formando el rompecabezas que es la historia de

"IT'S NEVER AS GOOD AFTER LUNCH" INTERVIEW WITH JONATHAN LETHEM Thomas Stolmar and Alexander Laurence get bookish with Jon Alexander Laurence : You were originally a painter, so I'd like to know when did you have thoughts of being a writer? Jonathan Lethem : I was cultivating this whole covert writing thing as I was going to Bennington College. I was reading voraciously. I had already been working at used bookstores, which was a way to read a lot of different books. I was reading all sorts of books at the time: Laurence Durrell, Norman Mailer, Philip K. Dick, J. G. Ballard, and other stuff that I ended up not liking like The Beats, which I read throughout High School. I was obsessed with Kerouac and Burroughs. I was reading detective novels, mysteries, and science fiction at the same time. It was all wide open for me. I have never been able to read anything besides fiction effectively which is why I was never a very good student. I don't think abstractly very well. I think in terms of situations, metaphors, and images. On the strength of all the reading I did in High School and college, I think that I'm still the best read person in fiction that I know. That was what I was doing instead of doing well in school. AL : You went to Bennington at the same time that Bret Easton Ellis, Jill Eisenstad, and Donna Tartt were there, all who went on to write novels as well. How did that environment influence you?

72. Amnesia Moon Essay by L.Timmel Duchamp. http://ltimmel.home.mindspring.com/moon.html

Denaturalizing Authority and Learning to Live in the Flesh: Jonathan Lethem's Amnesia Moon In Jonathan Lethem's Amnesia Moon Amnesia Moon could be described, therefore, as a fable of learning to live in the flesh and love it: in total, flagrant opposition to the carnephobia that most male-authored cyberpunk, for instance, so notably celebrates. Those wanting to read the book as nailed-down science fiction have the option of choosing from among the tropes on the menu the one best able to explain the fracturing of reality into many separate versions: "The hives," Vance said. "They're growing inside all the houses. Humans have to tend them, bring them food, trinkets, little offerings. The place where the aliens come from, the dominant species is some sort of hive intelligence, and the bigger animals serve as their arms and legs. So that's what they did to us when they landed. Turned us into animals. And they don't really give a damn about the condition of their animals, not when there are so many of them. "Listen: why do you think the world got broken up?
