and you lose memory of your entire episodic memory.
-
But typically, if you have any sort of serious accident
-
that involves you losing consciousness
-
you'll have a blackout of some period prior to that, say,blow to the head.
-
And the reason for this is as you're having these experiences now
-
they need to kind of get consolidated into your brain.
-
Your brain needs to rewire
-
and catch up to the experiences you're having.
-
A sudden blow to the head will knock you unconscious
-
and then the memories that have happened immediately prior
-
will not get consolidated
-
and they'll be lost forever.
