Abstract excerpt
The hippocampal subfields perform distinct operations during acquisition, differentiation, and recollection of episodic memories, and deficits in pattern separation are among the first symptoms of Alzheimer's disease (AD). We investigated how hippocampal subfields contribute to pattern separation and how this is affected by Apolipoprotein-E (APOE), the strongest AD genetic risk factor. Using ultra-high-field (7T)...
