As part of my neuropsychology studies, I reviewed the case of Clive Wearing. I found his story so interesting that I would like to share it with you. His experience made me realize that in terms of memory, there is no doubt that sometimes we do not value what we have... or what we remember.
In March of 1985, the accomplished musician Clive Wearing suffered a brain infection that left him with a severe form of amnesia. Specifically, Wearing was diagnosed with anterograde amnesia, meaning he could not form new memories. He was also afflicted with a retrograde amnesia that erased memories from years before his illness.
