The musician Clive Wearing remembers only the last 2 minutes of life Bashny.Net

A prototype of the character of "Remember"



Clive Wearing was a brilliant musician. He loved music and his passion was classical composers of the Renaissance. One day he came home with a headache, took medication, but the pain did not go away. On the fourth day the musician had a fever, and in the evening he forgot the name of his daughter. And then his life began to change dramatically.

He was diagnosed - viral encephalitis. The disease has damaged the left and right temporal lobes and most of the left frontal lobe. Hippocampus - part of the brain responsible for memory - was destroyed. Because of all this has become a very emotional Vearing, but something worse happened.





Because of its specific amnesia Vearing always sure that just woke up and awake two minutes. He kept looking at his watch and records the time in his diary, and next writes: "I was fully awake for the first time." When he looks in his diary, he does not believe that he wrote it, and everything crossed out.





Surprisingly, he never forgot his wife and his great love for her, and every time she walks into the room, "first", which he sees - it. This - his happiness, and it's better than nothing.
