 * __CAN PEOPLES MEMORIES BE ERASED WITH SURGERY?__**

Answer the question below, append new answers to the top of this page. _ __Response 1:__ __Can Peoples Memories Be Erased With Surgery?__ Losing your memory during brain surgery is of course a risk. Neurosurgeons list a number of different possible risks and problems that could occur during your surgery, memory included. Neurosurgeons do take many precautions though, making sure to only remove what they must trying to minimize the actual amount of brain that is removed. While there is no direct answer for this question I believe that the temporal lobe or cerebral cortex, the areas of the brain that hold memories, would have to be directly damaged, cut out or punctured for brain damage and memory loss to occur. ~ Lekszi N. 8.4 [] [] [] [] [|http://www.precisionneurosurgery.com.au/html/pr/surgical_craniotomybt_pr.html#7]
