Abstract
A patient with cerebral trauma recovered considerably from the resulting anterograde but not retrograde amnesia. The persistence of retrograde amnesia is attributed to a lesion in the ventral tegmental region, which suggests a role for mesencephalic reticular activation in long-term retrieval.This publication has 21 references indexed in Scilit:
