Memory Loss: Encyclopedia of Alternative Medicine (2251 words) |
 | Memory is often classified as immediate (retention of information for a few seconds); short-term (retention of information for several seconds or minutes); and longterm (retention of information for days, weeks, or years). |
| Memory loss resulting from trauma to the brain is usually sudden and may be permanent or temporary. |
| Tests used to pinpoint the exact cause of memory loss may include neuroimaging; electroencephalography (EEG) for patients with seizures; blood, cerebrospinal fluid, and tissue analysis to rule out specific diseases; and cognitive tests for gauging the patient's recent and remote (long-term) memory, and possibly his or her attention span, judgment, and word comprehension as well. |
