Retrograde amnesia (RA) is a loss of access to events and information of the past after the onset of disease or injury [1]. RA is often temporally graded, consistent with Ribot's Law : more recent memories closer to the traumatic incident are more likely to be forgotten than more remote memories [ 2 ] .
Ribot's law of retrograde amnesia was hypothesized in 1881 by Théodule Ribot. It states that there is a time gradient in retrograde amnesia, so that recent memories are more likely to be lost than the more remote memories. Not all patients with retrograde amnesia report the symptoms of Ribot's law.
In neurology, retrograde amnesia (RA) is the inability to access memories or information from before an injury or disease occurred. [1] RA differs from a similar condition called anterograde amnesia (AA), which is the inability to form new memories following injury or disease onset. [ 2 ]
Clive Wearing (born 11 May 1938) is a British former musicologist, conductor, tenor and pianist who developed chronic anterograde and retrograde amnesia in 1985. Since then, he has lacked the ability to form new memories and cannot recall aspects of his memories, frequently believing that he has only recently awoken from a comatose state.

[1] Additionally, the study of patient N.A. has contributed to research on amnesia, especially anterograde amnesia. It gave an insight on the underlying structures and processes of amnesia. The case of N.A. helped to determine the causes of anterograde amnesia and proved that amnesia can be caused by damaging multiple diencephalic structures. [1]
