Hyperthymestic Syndrome
بیان یک مورد
خانم ۴۰ ساله متاهلی که نمی توانست فراموش بکند و همه چیز حتی با جزئیاتشان برای او یادآوری می شود. این شخص قادر به کنترل و توقف افکارش نمی باشد.
McGaugh and fellow UCI researchers Larry Cahill and Elizabeth Parker have been studying the extraordinary case of a person who has "nonstop, uncontrollable and automatic" memory of her personal history and countless public events. If you randomly pick a date from the past 25 years and ask her about it, she’ll usually provide elaborate, verifiable details about what happened to her that day and if there were any significant news events on topics that interested her. She usually also recalls what day of the week it was and what the weather was like.
She was given the code name AJ to protect her privacy, is so unusual that UCI coined a name for her condition in a recent issue of the journal Neurocase: hyperthymestic syndrome.
