when a man looses his memory he loose the memory of all the events that took place in his life but he never forgets the knowledgre he has gained throughout his life and the language he has learned . why is this so??
very interesting question.
There are different parts or lobes of the brain and each part controls different function. There are different parts for memory or storing different events experienced throughout the life and different parts to control language and store knowledge. Thus, it depends on the part that gets affected during the injury. If the part that stores memories or events is damaged, then other parts will function while the man will lose the memory.
