ANSWER:
?Amnesia is most often found in cases where damage to the hippocampus and/or frontal lobe results in declarative memory problems. While declarative memory (semantic and episodic memory) is affected by amnesia, procedural memory may be spared. Procedural memory follows a different cortical route, around the hippocampus and through the cerebellum. Thus, when amnesia is the result of hippocampal damage, procedural memories may be spared.
