Retrograde amnesia (RA) is a loss of access to events and information of the past after the onset of disease or injury [1].

Anterograde amnesia is a failure to remember new experiences that occur after damage to the brain; retrograde amnesia is the loss of memories of events that occurred before a trauma or injury.
