title: Musical performance during transient global amnesia.
abstract: An organist had an episode of transient global amnesia during a recital. Despite a severe immediate-memory deficit, he performed complex organ music. This case suggests that the localization of the cerebral deficit in transient global amnesia is distinct from the cerebral centers necessary for performance of instrumental music.
