before. Given what you know about memory, which of the following explanations for anterograde amnesia is most likely?
Anterograde amnesia is closer to just forgetting because it's a failure to retrieve information instead of problems with encoding information.
The hippocampus is unlikely to be involved in anterograde amnesia, as this type of amnesia does not seem to be linked to long-term potentiation (LTP) and the hippocampus is most closely related to LTP.
It's likely that, when examining Lucy's brain, you would find damage to the hippocampus, as this structure is critically integral to almost all types of memory.
Anterograde amnesia is more closely related to long-term potentiation versus an encoding issue, so a thorough analysis of the protein structures should be examined instead of overall brain areas.
