Objective:
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of basal ganglia lesion of Wilson's disease (WD) patients on event-based prospective memory (EBPM) and time-based prospective memory (TBPM).
Patients And Methods:
A total of 30 WD patients and 30 age and education level matched healthy controls were included. EBPM (an action whenever particular words were presented) and TBPM (an action at certain times) were performed to test the involvement of the prospective memory in WD.
Results:
A significant difference was found in the performance of TBPM (2.9±1.1 vs. 5.8±0.4, p<0.05), but not EBPM (5.4±0.7 vs. 5.5±0.7, p>0.05) in patients with WD compared with the healthy controls.
Conclusions:
Our results demonstrated that basal ganglia are involved in the prospective memory in patients with WD.

Amnesia
The severity and duration of memory loss vary depending on the type and underlying cause. Amnesia is classified into two main types: retrograde and anterograde.
Retrograde amnesia is marked by the loss of memories formed before the onset of the condition. Patients may recall distant past events but often forget those occurring shortly before the incident.
Anterograde...
