Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Islands of memory following a concussion refer to the phenomenon where an individual can remember specific events that occurred during periods of time for which there is otherwise total amnesia. This means that while the person may not recall most of what happened during a certain period following the concussion, they can recall certain events in detail, as if these memories are "islands" in a "sea" of amnesia.
