“…However, although functional disruption of the hippocampal recall-related circuits will result from ventral tegmental area degeneration even if the hippocampus remains largely structurally intact, there is also evidence that indicates there is hippocampal neuropathology in nondementing PD with volume loss particularly associated with the CA2-4 subfields/dentate gyrus (Pereria et al, 2013). Volumetric imaging studies in nondementing PD also report an association between recall but not recognition and c o r t e x x x x ( 2 0 1 5 ) 1 e1 7 hippocampal neuropathology (e.g., Bouchard, et al, 2008;Carlesimo et al, 2012;Filoteo, Reed, Litvan, & Harrington, 2014;Ibbarretxe-Bilbao, et al, 2008;Junque, et al, 2005;Laakso, et al, 1996;Riekkinen et al, 1998; however, for a counter argument see Apostolova, et al, 2010;Camicioli et al, 2003;Nagano-Saito, et al, 2005;Tam, Burton, McKeith, Burn, & O'Brien, 2005) Q10 . However, the overall pattern of our data (for example, the statistically weaker correlational evidence, which should be taken as suggestive rather than conclusive) indicates that our main findings do not eliminate the possibility that there is a weak contribution from impaired dysexecutive processing driven by prefrontal dysfunction.…”
