WhAt IF? Suppose that a person with damage to thehippocampus is unable to acquire new long-term memories. Why might the acquisition of short-term memoriesalso be impaired?
WHAT IF? Suppose you examine two groups of individuals with CNS damage. In one group, the damage hasresulted in a coma (a prolonged state of unconsciousness). In the other group, it has caused paralysis (a loss ofskeletal muscle function throughout the body). Relativeto the position of the midbrain and pons, where is thelikely site of damage in each group? Explain
