Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The parahippocampal and rhinal cortices are closely connected with the hippocampus and are important for memory formation and retrieval. Damage to these regions can result in anterograde amnesia, as new memories cannot be formed. The amygdala is involved in emotional processing and may impact memory consolidation, but is not as strongly linked to anterograde amnesia as the parahippocampal and rhinal cortices. The anterior cingulate cortex and dorsomedial prefrontal cortex are not as directly involved in memory processing and are less likely to result in anterograde amnesia if damaged.
