- In early 19th century clinical description of amnesia was identified.[2]
- Caroline Miles and Henri & Henri first described infantile amnesia in 1893 and 1895,respectively. It was further explained by Sigmund Freud in 1953.[3]
- Alzheimer's disease was first described in 1906 by Alois Alzheimer, a psychiatrist and a pathologist of German origin.
