The memory loss associated with damage to the vascular thalamus tends to maintain high variability from patient to patient. Some patients will maintain their memory while developing the behavioral disorders while others will show signs of declarative anterograde amnesia with no signs of behavioral disorders. [ 4 ]

Brain ischemia has been linked to a variety of diseases or abnormalities. Individuals with sickle cell anemia, compressed blood vessels, ventricular tachycardia, plaque buildup in the arteries, blood clots, extremely low blood pressure as a result of heart attack, and congenital heart defects have a higher predisposition to brain ischemia in comparison to the average population.

[5] The patients can separate colors into categories, but they cannot name them. Semantic anomia is caused by damage to the angular gyrus.
