Memory loss is love's great thief. Those who suffer aren't just the ones who can't remember—family, friends and loved ones agonize over how to react when the disorder begins its often inexorable progress. Now, just-published research from scientists at the University of Georgia is offering new insights into how one kind of memory works. The study, published this week in the online edition of The //Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences//, shows that laboratory rats have "episodic-like memory" and could open novel ways to study life-robbing loss of memory in humans.

Memory is not a single process but is made up of several sub-processes relying on different areas of the [|brain]. Episodic memory, the ability to remember specific events such as what you did yesterday, is known to be vulnerable to brain damage involving the [|hippocampus]. The question is, what happens when damage to the hippocampus occurs very early in life? In a case study published in the September 2011 issue of Elsevier's Cortex, clinical neuropsychologists have reported that a child can develop normally despite severe damage to the hippocampus resulting from lack of oxygen in the first days of life. This supports the theory that the different aspects of memory rely on distinct areas of the brain. []media type="youtube" key="B4jFXjyFBK8?feature=player_detailpage" height="360" width="640"
