Do you remember something following a concussion?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Amnesia: The most common amnesia suffered with a concussion is called retrograde amnesia. You might not remember the events occurring right before the head injury and you probably never will regain this. Anterograde amnesia is much more serious in that you cannot form new memories. A neuropsychologist can help.

Yes: antigrade amnesia is the loss of memory from before the injury. It will usually fill in except for the immediate events of the injury. Prograde amnesia occurs because the brain is not able to lay down new memory traces from the time of the injury forward. This will not fill in as it has never been recorded. You will resume memory traces withing hours or days following a concussion.
