It brings together and reviews the common methods, clinical findings, concepts, mechanisms and, where applicable, therapeutic strategies for these clinical approaches.The clinical spectrum of hippocampal dysfunction encompasses a wide range of neurological, behavioural and psychiatric symptoms and surpasses the ability to encode, store and retrieve information.
However, in the rapidly growing field of hippocampal research, the clinical aspects of diseases thataffect the hippocampus are greatly under-represented in current literature, and clinical approaches and concepts are scattered throughout various clinical and basic scientific disciplines.The Clinical Neurobiology of the Hippocampus explores clinical approaches to the range of diseases that affect the hippocampus. Its recognized function is reflected by the presence of an extensive body of neurophysiological, neuropsychological, anatomical and neurocomputational literature that presents basic mechanisms, theoretical models and psychological concepts. The hippocampus is one of the most studied structures in the human brain and plays a pivotal role in human memory function.
