amnesia  

Definición

  • Amnesia is a memory disorder characterized by a profound impairment in establishing new memories of people, places, and events and a deficit in retrieving information acquired prior to the onset of illness. It is important to note that amnesia is not an all-or-none condition—it is functionally diverse and its severity varies based on etiology and lesion extent.
