This paper presents the case of BB, an individual with an atypical posterior cortical presentation of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The severity of BB's visuo-spatial impairment far outweighed impairment of other cognitive functions. BB's case is also unusual in that despite a long history of progressive impairment, his cognitive symptoms remain relatively circumscribed. More specifically, BB's pattern of memory impairment was striking, since his impairment on formal psychometric tests of memory contrasted with his performance at clinical interview, where he talked lucidly about events in his past, and displayed remarkably well-preserved general semantic knowledge. On the basis of BB's clinical profile, it was hypothesised that his pattern of cognitive performance reflected an impairment of **anterograde memory** in the context of relative preservation of remote memory....
Neuropsychological studies of temporal lobe epilepsy have focused heavily on the nature and extent of memory dysfunction and its relationship to the neuropathological status of the hippocampus and related mesial temporal lobe structures. In this study, we examined whole brain and lobar quantitative MRI volumes and comprehensive neuropsychological performance in 58 patients with temporal lobe epilepsy and 62 healthy controls in order to determine (1) the nature and degree of extratemporal structural abnormalities in localization-related temporal lobe epilepsy: (2) the nature and degree of cognitive abnormalities outside of **anterograde memory** function; and (3) the relationship of volumetric abnormalities to neuropsychological status.....

Becky! (sorry about the misspelling above) :-0
When I studied Medicine, it was common to see the word \"antegrade [memory]\"; nowadays it\'s been replaced by \"anterograde [memory]\", making it more similar to our Spanish term.

Memory is a complex function, encompassing the encoding, storage, and retrieval of diverse types of information. There are multiple memory systems in the brain. For example, there are dissociable systems underlying such memory functions as new learning of verbal information, acquisition of a procedural skill, and retrieval of semantic knowledge from long-term storage. It has been known since the 1950s that epileptic patients who underwent bilateral temporal lobectomies developed severe memory impairments (amnesia).
The mesial temporal lobe memory system, including the hippocampus, parahippocampal gyrus, entorhinal cortex, and perirhinal cortex (Fig. 1), is essential for the acquisition of new information (**anterograde memory**) . When this system is damaged, it becomes difficult or impossible to remember what happened yesterday or even a few hours or minutes ago. Remote memory for information acquired in the distant past remains relatively preserved, as does procedural memory (e.g., memory for skills, such as golfing or driving a car).
