Vascular thalamic amnesia

Vascular thalamic amnesia occurs when the thalamus is affected by Korsakoff's syndrome or damaged by lacunar infarcts or hemorrhages.[1] Another common cause for damage to the thalamus that may contribute to the development of amnesia is a stroke.[2] It involves a loss of memory and a shift in behaviors and attitudes that are associated with various behavioral disorders.[3]
