Evidence for semantic learning in profound amnesia: An investigation with patient H.M.
- Psychology, BiologyHippocampus
- 2004
Although H.M.M.'s semantic learning was clearly impaired, the results provide robust, unambiguous evidence that some new semantic learning can be supported by structures beyond the hippocampus proper.
Names and words without meaning: incidental postmorbid semantic learning in a person with extensive bilateral medial temporal damage.

A densely amnesic man is described who has acquired explicit semantic knowledge of famous names and vocabulary words that entered popular culture after the onset of his amnesia and who possessed virtually no explicit knowledge of the meaning of these words or the identities of these individuals.
Does the Medial Temporal Lobe Bind Phonological Memories?
- Psychology, BiologyJournal of Cognitive Neuroscience
- 2001
This work reexamined phonological memory in the amnesic patient HM and interpret the data in terms of a model of lexical representation where temporal lobe damage disrupts the processes that normally bind semantic and phonological representations.

Findings suggest a deficit in the controlled search and retrieval of semantic information in Korsakoff patients, which could be explained by explanations of temporally graded retrograde amnesia.

The case of R.S., a 49-year-old amnesic man, is reported, who is found to have acquired information about famous people, public events and new vocabulary during the 13-year period since he becameAmnesic, despite having no measurable anterograde episodic memory function and a profound loss of autobiographical memory.
Bilateral medial temporal lobe damage does not affect lexical or grammatical processing: Evidence from amnesic patient H.M.
- PsychologyHippocampus
- 2001
It is concluded that medial temporal lobe structures are not critical for retention and use of already acquired lexical information or for grammatical processing, but they are required for acquisition ofLexical information, as evidenced in previous studies revealing H.M.'s profound impairment at learning new words.

The results demonstrate that the capacity for new semantic learning can be absent, or nearly absent, when there is virtually complete damage to the MTL bilaterally, and raise the possibility that the acquisition of conscious (declarative) knowledge about the world cannot be supported by structures outside the M TL, even with extended exposure.
Medial Temporal Lobe Amnesia: Gradual Acquisition of Factual Information by Nondeclarative Memory

Most amnesic patients with damage to the medial temporal lobe retain some capacity to learn new information about facts and events. In many cases, the learning appears to depend on a residual ability…

The results of these studies point to the importance of the hippocampal complex for normal memory function in patients who had undergone similar, but less radical, bilateral medial temporallobe resections, and as a warning to others of the risk to memory involved in bilateral surgical lesions of the hippocampusal region.

The results extend the domain in which preserved priming effects can be observed in amnesia and suggest that features of priming observed in normal subjects describe a capacity that is independent of the brain system damaged in amNES.
