What Is Actually Happening?

Amnesia could take many forms, each of which could be seen and treated as worse than the other, yet Admon could not believe that he had forgotten his real surname. Among these causes, the following remained intertwined:

**Ageing**: With the aging process, the number of nerve cells in the brain decreases and nerve transmission slows down. In addition, atrophy (shrinkage) occurs in some areas of the brain. This can especially affect areas associated with memory, such as the frontal lobe and hippocampus.

**Neurological Diseases**: Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease that causes plaques and plaque build-up in the brain. Parkinson's disease can lead to movement disorders and sometimes memory problems due to the loss of dopamine-producing cells in the brain. Vascular dementia occurs when blood vessels in the brain become blocked or damaged, causing brain tissue to die and affecting memory functions.
