Why hippocampus is removed when a person has Alzheimer's?.

Sagot :

The hippocampus is essential
for forming new memories, such
as what one ate for lunch or a
recent conversation. The
progressive shrinkage of the
hippocampus is responsible
for the short-term memory loss that is the
hallmark symptom of Alzheimer's.
