Clive Wearing is perhaps the most famous living amnesic today. More than 20 years ago, he was infected by the Herpes Simplex virus, which destroyed his hippocampi in both hemispheres of the brain, along with some structures in the frontal lobes. He has been living with an extreme case of amnesia ever since.
