A patient suffered very severe anterograde and retrograde amnesia following infarction of both medial temporal lobes (hippocampus and adjacent cortex) and the left inferior temporo-occipital area. The temporal stem and the amygdala were intact; these structures do not appear to be critical for new learning in humans. Extension of the left-sided infarct into the inferior temporo-occipital lobe, an area critically involved in visual processing, appears to be responsible for our patient's loss of remote memories.
一位患者双侧颞叶（海马体和相邻皮质）和左颞下枕叶区域梗死，导致严重的顺行性和逆行性遗忘。颞干和杏仁核完好无损；这些结构似乎对人类的新学习不是至关重要的。左侧梗死延伸至颞下枕叶区域，该区域对视觉处理至关重要，似乎是导致我们患者丧失远期记忆的原因。
