Memory Loss

[cdhanson at napier.uwaterloo.ca]

  Hello...

    Since I have a very limited knowledge of the chemical processes involed 
in the working of the brain.  I was wondering if anyone out there could tell
me if extreme cold and/or an electric shock can cause memory loss.  I doing 
the research for a novel I am writing and thought I would post here to get
some opinion from you experts out there.  If this is possible a brief 
explanation of how it might happen would be what I am looking for. 
Even a yes or no answer would be alright, at least I would know then that I
am not beating a dead horse.
