“…More specifically, our study revealed that the surface-inward deformation within the anterior hippocampus was associated with cortical thinning in the regions involved in both dorsal and ventral visual processes. The disruption of the hippocampal-cortical connectivity in terms of the disconnectivity strength between the hippocampus and the cortex may underlie cognitive deficits observed in impaired performance on hippocampal-dependent memory tasks (Cirillo and Seidman, 2003;Meyer-Lindenberg et al, 2005;Thoma et al, 2009), reduced functional connectivities involving the hippocampus in resting functional MRI (Zhou et al, 2008), and impaired executive attention and working memory found in functional (Rasser et al, 2005) and structural neuroimaging studies (Bilder et al, 1995;Harrison, 2004;Rasser et al, 2005).…”
