What actually happens when the brain loses access to its stored memories? In this episode, we examine the often misunderstood condition of amnesia — what it is, what it isn’t, and how it affects the brain’s intricate memory systems.

We break down the different types of amnesia, from retrograde to anterograde, and explain the factors that can disrupt memory formation and retrieval, including head trauma, stroke, psychological stress, and certain medical conditions.

If you’re curious about how memory works — and what happens when it doesn’t — this episode offers an insightful look into the complex world of memory loss and the science behind it.
