I'll explain the biologically background of his amnesia, from what I know:

When Arima damaged his brain a great part of it was destroyed along with a massive amount of neurons.

However, the damaged parts of his brain were recreated, in a ghoul-ish way, and the broken neurons were replaced by new, "clean" ones (In our reality, the brain mass and the neurons don't heal. When a human brain is damaged the roles that were attributed to that particular part are taken by the remaining organ, in most cases the cortex.

But that doesn't mean his memories are lost forever, because a memory doesn't exist just in single place, but within all the connection between neurons existent in a brain. Are the gaps in his neuronal relationships that keeps his memories at bay, locked.

Btw, these are proved scientific facts, not fabulations. But keep in mind that I'm just 99% sure about the information given and my english is not perfect.
