Transient global amnesia is a sudden, temporary loss of memory for events during, after, and sometimes before the event that caused the amnesia. What causes many cases of transient global amnesia is not known, but one type is caused by drinking too much alcohol or taking certain drugs. People with this amnesia suddenly but temporarily become unable to store new memories and to recall events that happened after the amnesia occurred.
The basal forebrain can be damaged by aneurysm of the anterior communicating artery, which supplies blood to the basal forebrain. Finally, anterograde amnesia can sometimes occur following damage to the diencephalon-a set of structures deep in the brain including the medial thalamic nuclei. Currently, there is no good understanding of why damage to these brain areas should sometimes result in a selective memory deficit such as amnesia. Korsakoff's disease is a syndrome which can damage the diencephalon and cause anterograde amnesia.
