Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Patient HM, who had his hippocampus removed to treat severe epilepsy, suffered from anterograde amnesia, which is the inability to form new memories. Therefore, he would not be able to remember recent events, such as yesterday's news. Other options like remembering how to drive a car (procedural memory), remembering the names of elementary school teachers (long-term memory), and recognizing facial emotions (part of social cognition and not directly related to the hippocampus) would not be as affected.
