Kent Cochrane
Kent Cochrane (1951 – March 27, 2014), also known as Patient K.C., was a widely studied Canadian memory disorder patient who has been used as a case study in over 20 neuropsychology papers over the span of the past 25 years. In 1981, Cochrane was involved in a motorcycle accident that left him with severe anterograde amnesia, as well as temporally graded retrograde amnesia. Unlike other amnesic patients (patient HM, for example), Cochrane had his semantic memory intact, but lacked episodic memory with respect to his entire past. As a case study, Cochrane has been linked to the breakdown of the single-memory single-locus hypothesis regarding amnesia, which states that an individual memory is localized to a single location in the brain.
==Biography==
Cochrane was born in 1951 as the oldest of five children and grew up in the suburbs of Toronto, Canada. After attending a community college to study business administration he obtained a job at a manufacturing plant, which he held until the time of his motorcycle accident.〔
Cochrane died on March 27, 2014 at the age of 62.〔 The exact cause of death is unknown, but his sister, Karen Casswell, said it is believed he had a heart attack or stroke. He died in his room at an assisted living facility where he lived and the family opted not to authorize an autopsy.〔
