Severe long-term memory deficits
Preserved short-term memory
What are the different assessments would you do to determine working v. short term v. long term?
What is your diagnosis?
Short-term memory loss usually requires?
Bilateral damage to the memory circuits
What is long-term memory?
Limbic circuits
Retention of information for hours to years
Relatively few errors until 25% or more of cortex has been damaged
Synaptic Remodeling: Long term potentiation, NMDA receptor
What is your diagnosis?
Korsakoff’s psychosis
THere is little or no acquistion of NEW information
Impaired retrieval of old, hisorical memory
Confabulation
What is working memory?

What is anterograde amnesia?
Failure to form NEW retrievable memory
