Moving or directed forward in time or space; in neurology, describes memory or transport directed toward the future or away from the brain's center.
From Latin 'antero-' (forward) and 'gradus' (step, degree). This medical and neurological term gained prominence in the 20th century with memory research.
People with anterograde amnesia (like in the movie 'Memento') can't form new memories after brain injury—their brains literally can't step forward in time anymore, stuck making the same discoveries repeatedly!
