H.M. shows a severe case of anterograde amnesiahe is unable to learn new information, but can recall information he learned prior to the surgery. Subsequent research suggests that the anterograde amnesia reflects bilateral damage to the hippocampus. No impairments are noted in him for perceptual memory, motor memory, or sensory-motor memory.
