Abstract It is believed that various regions of the Medial Temporal Lobe (MTL) are majorly involved for the coordination activations in disparate parts of the cortex, and these activations help in the information representation for the Autobiographic Memories (AM). Hence, any type of physical damage to the MTL would cause difficulty in the retrieval of AM. Patient M.S. suffered from long-term visual memory loss along with some semantic deficits, he also exhibited severe retrograde (inability of retrieving previous memories) amnesia...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a progressive neurological disease of the central nervous system (CNS) and its pathogenesis has been associated with auto-immune mechanisms underlying the inflammatory demyelination of neurons. Myelin is the sheathed coating of neurons which provides multifaceted functions like neuroprotection and enhances synaptic transmission throughout brain regions. Therefore, the pathological demyelination of neurons results in distorted, slow or even the absence of neuronal communication. This consequently leads to the onset of many symptoms that characterise MS. Symptoms include...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disabling disease of the central nervous system that mainly affects people in their young age. Pathogenic mechanisms that bring about the development of multiple sclerosis (MS) have yet to be clearly identified, but considerable evidence indicates autoimmunity plays an important role in its etiology. Autoimmune diseases like MS are postulated to arise from complex interactions between individual genetic susceptibility and environmental factors. Previous infection with Epstein-Barr virus, vitamin D insufficiency and smoking are established risk...

LTM can be sub-divided into two main systems (Curran, 2014), one being declarative memory which stores information that requires conscious recollection, including episodic memories (EM), enabling us to remember events and experiences, and semantic memories (SM), which store our knowledge about the world (Tulving, 1993).
