However, Hindi is written in the Devanagari script and contains more direct tatsama Sanskrit -derived words than Urdu, whereas Urdu is written in the Perso-Arabic script and uses more Arabic and Persian loanwords compared to Hindi. Because of this, as well as the fact that the two registers share an identical grammar, a consensus of linguists consider them to be two standardised forms of

AMN escaped a small fire in his house, did not inhale any smoke, and had no brain damage. Nevertheless, he was unable to recall autobiographical knowledge the next day. This case shows that RA can occur in

1062-469: A hippocampal trace each time a memory is retrieved. Since more hippocampal traces are present for older memories, it is easier for older memories to remain intact when RA occurs. An absence of anterograde amnesia (AA) characterizes pure forms of RA, which fall into three main categories: focal, isolated, and pure RA. Slight differences in the use of these terms to describe a pure form of RA are summarized below: RA commonly results from damage to regions of

Patients who have RA due to surgery are "P.B." and "F.C." who had unilateral removal of

Many words borrowed from Persian in turn were loanwords from Arabic (e.g. muśkil "difficult", havā "air", x(a)yāl "thought", kitāb "book"). Hindi also makes extensive use of loan translation ( calqueing ) and occasionally phono-semantic matching of English . Many Hindustani words were derived from Portuguese due to interaction with colonists and missionaries: Retrograde amnesia Memory loss in patients with temporally graded RA strongly follows Ribot's law , meaning that one will experience more memory loss for events closer to

Outside India, several other languages are recognised officially as "Hindi" but do not refer to

The formal Hindi standard, from which much of the Persian, Arabic and English vocabulary has been replaced by neologisms compounding tatsam words, is called Śuddh Hindi (pure Hindi), and is viewed as a more prestigious dialect over other more colloquial forms of Hindi. Excessive use of tatsam words sometimes creates problems for native speakers. They may have Sanskrit consonant clusters which do not exist in Hindustani, causing difficulties in pronunciation. As

Furthermore, these tests must be adjusted to account for the time period that a patient is alive, which affects the amount of detail included in the questions.

Studies on specific cases demonstrate how particular impaired areas of the hippocampus are associated with the severity of RA.

In an analysis of YouTube comments, Palakodety et al., identified that 52% of comments were in Romanised Hindi, 46% in English, and 1% in Devanagari Hindi. Traditionally, Hindi words are divided into five principal categories according to their etymology: Hindi has naturally inherited a large portion of its vocabulary from Shauraseni Prakrit , in the form of tadbhava words. This process usually involves compensatory lengthening of vowels preceding consonant clusters in Prakrit, e.g. Sanskrit tīkṣṇa > Prakrit tikkha > Hindi tīkhā . Much of Standard Hindi's vocabulary

RA can also be an inherent aspect of other forms of amnesia, namely transient global amnesia (TGA). TGA

5074-455: Is the process by which there is a signal transmission between neurons after the activation of a neuron, which has been known to play a strong role in the hippocampus in learning and memory. Common changes in the hippocampus have been found to be related to stress and induced LTP. The commonalities support the idea that variations of stress can play a role in producing new memories as well as the onset of RA for other memories. The amygdala plays

Patients experiencing psychogenic amnesia have impaired episodic memory, instances of wandering and traveling, and acceptance of a new identity as a result of inaccessible memories pertaining to their previous identity.

Brain plasticity has helped explain the recovery process of brain damage induced retrograde amnesia, where neuro-structures use different neural pathways to avoid the damaged areas while still performing their tasks. Thus, the brain can learn to be independent of the impaired hippocampus, but only to a certain extent. For example, older memories are consolidated over time and in various structures of

Also, chronic alcohol use disorders are associated with a decrease in the volume of the left and right hippocampus. These patients' regular diet consists mostly of hard alcohol intake, which lacks

8968-443: The evidence that severe blows to the head can cause the onset of RA. In this specific case there was an onset of isolated RA following a severe head injury. The brain damage did not affect the person's ability to form new memories. Therefore, the idea that specific sections of retrograde memory are independent of anterograde is supported. Normally, there is a very gradual recovery, however, a dense period of amnesia immediately preceding

Another study suggests that large medial temporal lobe lesions, that extend laterally to include other regions, produce more extensive RA, covering 40 to 50 years.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs from an external force that causes structural damage to

It has also been found that patients with RA greatly differ from the general population in remembering past events. A few case examples are: Although it may seem that people living with brain damage have great difficulty continuing

Therefore, after a prolonged time consuming primarily alcohol, these people undergo memory difficulties and ultimately develop RA.
