Q

the hippocampus

A
  • temporal lobe
  • memory and navigation
  • Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia occur partly due to damage in this area of the brain, resulting in early symptoms including short term memory loss and disorientation
  • damage may result in inability to form and retain new memories
  • It also closely is related to other diseases such as epilepsy, schizophrenia, transient global amnesia and PTSD
  • However, the role of the hippocampus in complex brain networks, particularly its influence on brain-wide functional connectivity, is not well understood by scientists
  • Functional connectivity refers to the functional integration between spatially separated brain regions

Q

Severe Alzheimers

A
  • plaques and tangles spread throughout the brain and brain tissue significantly shrinks
  • cannot communicate and completely dependent on others care
  • Near the end, the person may be in bed most or all of the time as the body shuts down.
27
Q

Alzheimers Diagnosis

A
  • ask past medical problems, changes in behaviour or personality
  • conduct tests of: memory, problem solving, attention, counting, and language
  • do standard medical tests (blood, urine etc)
  • Perform brain scans (CT, MRI, PET)
28
Q

Superior Temporal Sulcus (STS)

A
  • separates the superior and middle temporal gyri

Q

Hasson and colleagues
