Hippocampus / entorhinal memory network

これは何か

The hippocampus is a medial temporal lobe structure involved in converting short-term memory into longer-term memory.^[1]

なぜ重要か

Alzheimer disease usually damages connections in memory-related regions such as the entorhinal cortex and hippocampus early in the disease course.^[2]

どの判断に影響するか

• Problems in this network can show up as difficulty forming or retrieving recent memories.^[1,2]

解釈上の注意

• The hippocampus is not the whole memory system; long-term storage and retrieval involve broader cortical and network processes.^[3,2]
