| Popis: | Thalamic nuclei appear to play an important role in memory functioning. Severe anterograde amnesia has been reported with lesions of the dorsomedial and anterior nuclei and their connections. We report the case of a woman with discrete thalamic lesions involving the anterior and dorsomedial nuclei who had a persistent anterograde amnesia. Contrary to a previous case report describing impairment only with explicit memory, this patient had impairment with both implicit and explicit memory. This case is discussed in terms of the relevant literature associating the diencephalon, amnesia, and implicit memory. |
