Hippocampus / entorhinal memory network

這是什麼

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

為什麼重要

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

它會影響哪些判斷

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

解讀陷阱

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