Article Abstract
Previous studies have carried out hippocampal shape analysis of amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) patients using automated segmentation techniques. However, the relationships between hippocampal deformations and various episodic memory impairments were not clear. The aim of this study was to investigate hippocampal shape changes and their relationships with various episodic memory impairments in aMCI. Hippocampal volumes and deformations were compared between the aMCI and the controls. In addition, we explored the correlation pattern between hippocampal deformations and cognitive dysfunctions in aMCI using a comprehensive neuropsychological battery. Patients with aMCI exhibited significant hippocampal deformations in the right cornu ammonis 1 (CA1) and subiculum areas compared with healthy individuals. Significant correlations were observed between constructional recall scores and the right CA1 and subiculum areas in aMCI. Verbal delayed recall scores were also significantly correlated with the left CA1 and subiculum areas in aMCI. This study was the first to explore the relationships between hippocampal deformations and various types of cognitive performances in aMCI. These structural changes in the hippocampal CA1 and subiculum areas might be at the core of underlying neurobiological mechanisms of hippocampal dysfunction and their relevance to verbal and visuospatial delayed recall in aMCI.

Unlabelled: Fragile X syndrome (FXS), the most common monogenic neurodevelopmental disorder associated with autism and intellectual disability, results from the loss of expression of the gene. Synaptic and circuit-level abnormalities are well documented in FXS and extensively studied in the KO mouse model. In CA1 hippocampal neurons functional, molecular and structural synaptic changes have been described yet the canonical form of Hebbian CA1 long term potentiation (LTP) remains intact in KO mice.

Increasing evidence suggests that all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) contributes to the pathogenesis of depression. Although numerous studies have emphasized the role of hippocampal glutamatergic transmission and dendritic spine abnormalities in ATRA-induced depression, it remains unclear whether changes in hypothalamic glutamatergic transmission and dendritic spine density also contribute to its development. This study investigates the effects of ATRA treatment on glutamate receptor expression and dendritic spine density in the hypothalamus of rats.

Objectives: Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) is a common neurological disorder, with memory impairment being one of its typical symptoms. Most previous studies have focused on assessing declarative memory directly related to hippocampal functions, but emerging data suggest a decline in the efficiency of other types of memory as well. The aim of this study was to comprehensively assess various types of memory and analyze the relationship between memory performance and the volume of selected gray matter structures.

Background: Schizophrenia patients with auditory hallucinations have distinct morphological abnormalities, but whether this population have a progressive gray matter atrophy pattern and specific transmission chain of causal effects remains unclear. This study was designed to construct a causal structural covariance network in schizophrenia patients with persistent auditory hallucinations.
Methods: T1-weighted MRI images were acquired from 90 schizophrenia patients with persistent auditory hallucinations (pAH group) and 83 healthy controls (HC group).
