Q

How did Parkin (2003) define amnesia?

A 
> Unimpaired STM

16
Q

What are the neural structures, other than the hippocampus, which have been linked to amnesia?

A

> Diencephalon

> Fornix

17
Q

What regions of the diencephalon have been linked to amnesia?

A

> Thalamus

> Mamillary bodies

18
Q

Who linked the fornix to severe anterograde amnesia?

A

> Aggleton et al (2000)

> Tsivilis et al (2008)

19
Q

What did Aggleton (2000) find?

A

That the fornix is linked to severe anterograde amnesia

20
Q

What did Tsivilis et al (2008) find?

A

That the fornix is linked to severe anterograde amnesia

21
Q

What did Mayes et al (2003) demonstrate?

A

Long term amnesia can occur without any hippocampal damage

22
Q

Who demonstrated that long term amnesia can occur without any hippocampal damage?

A

Mayes et al (2003)

23
Q

Are there difference between the amnesia caused by diencephalon damage and medial temporal lobe damage?

A

Possibly. It has been proposed that there are differences in forgetting rates, behavioural manifestations and patterns of retrograde amnesia
