mechanism of storing memories is not yet well-understood‚ although scientists know which regions of the brain are involved. The disease is usually either drug induced or caused by a traumatic brain injury in which there is usually damage to the hippocampus or surrounding cortices. In Lucy’s case‚ the amnesia is from the traumatic brain injury. Everyday Lucy Whitmore wakes up and can’t remember what happened the day before. She wakes up everyday and thinks it’s the day before her accident. Everyday
