Memory loss and identity

from All In The Mind Hosted by Australian Broadcasting Corporation

Our memories form the basis of our sense of self. When a brain disorder damages memory, it’s not clear what remains of the person when some of those memories are missing. A neurologist from the UK explores memory and identity through the moving stories of her patients.
