Whether memory damage caused by brain hemorrhage can be recovered depends on the site of brain hemorrhage as well as the size of the hemorrhage and the extent of the damage. Most memory damage caused by brain hemorrhage can be recovered to varying degrees. The site of hemorrhage is in important functional brain areas that govern memory, such as the hippocampus, amygdala, and the limbic system in the medial temporal lobe. Cells in these systems that are irreversibly damaged will not be able to recover their function and will have poorer compensatory effects. If the lesion is not in these areas but in their periphery, the functional damage may only be due to the hematoma compression of the hemorrhage and the occupancy effect causing its temporary impairment, and when the hemorrhage is absorbed and the edema subsides and the occupancy effect disappears, its function may be restored. A better recovery may be complete and no different from that before the disease, while a poorer recovery may be a partial recovery, with some degree of memory loss, learning loss, and executive function loss.
