The hippocampus is one of the key brain regions associated with memory formation and consolidation. Damage to the hippocampus can lead to both anterograde amnesia (inability to form new memories) and some degree of retrograde amnesia (loss of past memories). Such amnesia patients may not remember having read a story before but may still retain some unconscious memory of it, which is why they may read it faster the second time.
