What is Anterograde Amnesia?

• Anterograde amnesia refers to a decreased ability
  to store new information. This could affect your
  daily activities. It might also interfere with
  work and social activities because you may have
  challenges creating new memories.
• Anterograde amnesia is a part of amnesia. In such
  cases, amnesia (memory loss) has already
  happened. It is caused by damage to memory-making
  parts of your brain. In some cases, amnesia might
  be temporary, but in other cases, it might be
  permanent. Some types of therapies could help you
  cope with this type of memory loss.
• Proactive, anterograde, and retrograde amnesia
• Anterograde amnesia is one of the two main
  features of amnesia. People with this feature
  have trouble making new memories based on
  experiences and information they come across.
• The other feature is known as retrograde
  amnesia. This refers to the inability to recall
  events and people from your past. It could also
  cause you to forget well-established daily
  information, like what time you go to work.

Symptoms of Anterograde Amnesia

• Symptoms of anterograde amnesia mainly affect
  short-term memory processing. This could cause
  confusion and frustration. For example, someone
  with this form of amnesia may forget
• Someone they have recently met
• A new phone number
• A recent meal
• The names of famous people
• Newly-made changes to a routine, like a school or
  job changes
• Such symptoms differ from those of retrograde
  amnesia, which might include forgetting
  information you already knew before the amnesia.
  For example, you may forget to read a book you
  have read before. Also, the symptoms of
  anterograde amnesia occur after you have already
  started experiencing memory loss.

• Causes of Anterograde Amnesia
• In general, amnesia is caused by damage to your
  brain. This affects memory-making parts of your
  brain, like the thalamus. Anterograde amnesia
  tends to happen after you start experiencing some
  symptoms of the disease, like short-term memory
  loss. It is caused by certain damages to your
  brain that lead to differences in the way you
  retain new information.
• An MRI test or a CT scan could help your doctor
  diagnose the physical causes of anterograde
  amnesia. These could help them look for changes
  or damage to the brain.
