National Geographic this month has an interesting article on memory. It highlights the story of a man named "EP" with a history of herpes simplex virus. Due to the destruction of both of his medial temporal lobes from the virus, he is unable to form new memories. This is so extensive that he lives virtually in the present.
The site also has a connection to test your own memory. Why don't you give it a whirl?
