An “Engram-Centric” Approach to Transient Global Amnesia (TGA) and Other Acute-Onset Amnesias by Andrew J. Larner

“…The most common of these, TGA, is a rare but well-described condition characterised by a self-limited episode of dense anterograde amnesia with variable retrograde amnesia. Although the clinical phenomenology of TGA is well described, its pathogenesis is not currently understood, thus preventing the development of evidence-based therapeutic recommendations. …”

Transient epileptic amnesia by J. S. Anužytė, G. Rutkauskaitė, R. Mameniškienė
