Clive Wearing (born 1938) is a British musicologist, conductor, and keyboardist suffering from an acute and long lasting case of anterograde amnesia. Specifically, this means he lacks the ability to form new memories, dubbed the 'memento' syndrome by laypeople and the media.

I watched a newer report about this guy recently (might have been on the Sift) and I really can't imagine how horrible this must be for the person suffering with this and his friends and family. Being robbed of your memory must be one of the worst things that could happen to a person.

I think Clive speaks for all of us when he says, "I'd like to know what the hell's been going on."

The clip from deputy dog is like 20 years later and the guy's wife is still going through the routine. That's a KEEPER boy!

It's only 9.75 minutes long, not over 10 minutes.

Here's part 2 filmed 13 years later.

One of the most interesting parts is in the later half of 2c where his wife contrasts the differences in episodic vs semantic memory.

Good post antiuser, you might also like "The Man Who Slept for 19 Years"(not posted online) about a car accident victim, additionally, Mindshock's "Sex on the Brain" episode http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbFkz1_C5SU The first one is amnesic(still thinks it's 1984) both exemplify the the effects of temporal lobe damage to emotional constraint.

Some the most interesting videos I've seen was over at Princeton's webmedia site:

Like Michael S. Gazzaniga, Dartmouth University: "Personal Identity, Neuroethics and the Human Brain"
http://www.princeton.edu/WebMedia/lectures/20050414gazzanigaVN350K.asx
This was, by far, one of my favorites. He cites some fascinating studies.

A good radio cast dealing with memory, several parts, the last of which deals with Clive.
