2. Introducing Anterograde Amnesia
Anterograde amnesia is a loss of the
ability to create new memories after the
event that caused the amnesia, leadingto a
partial orcomplete inabilityto recall the
recent past, while long-term memories from
before the event remain intact. There is quite
often no such recoveryand patientsare left
with a permanent and debilitatingcondition.

3. How The Movie Relates
● According to the movie, after lucy
was involved in a car accident, she
was known to be suffering from
Goldfeild.(Goldfeild is a fiction
name of the specific form of
Anterogade anmesia.)
● This cause her to lose all of her
memory on the day of the accident
and anyday there after, any
memory before her accident she
still has, thus why she relives the
same day over and over again

7. ● This area of the brain is crucial in forming new memories.
● There is no treatment or prevention known for Anterograde Amnesia
● One difference from the movie and from real life
patients with Anterograde Amnesia is that with how
servere this condition really is to a patient, all
patients with this type of amnesia are actually kept
in a hospital or a cre giver facility, the reason being
that with them not being able to remeber their days
after they happen, if something drasticly changes in
the world or even to the patient, as they get older
and look in the mirror, this can be very dramatic
and scary for the patient.

9. In conclution, this disease does excist in real life,
and it is well explained in the movie. In both lucy’s
circomstance and they even show a shot glism of
how her condition could be even worse
