Hypertymesi eller hypertymestiskt syndrom är när en person har extraordinär minnesförmåga för vad personen gjort bakåt i tiden. En hypertymestisk person tänker mycket ofta på sitt förflutna och kan upprepa vad personen har gjort nästan varje dag i sitt liv i mycket hög detalj. Alla män som har hypertymesi är också vänsterhänta, vilket skulle kunna vara ett sammanträffande men också en konsekvens av diagnosen.
