Overview
Memory is the stored information in the hippocampal region of the brain. depending on the duration, memory is divided into short term and long term.
Pathophysiology
Physiology
Memory is the stored information in the hippocampal region of the brain. According to Richard Semon (1904), experiences cause some structural and functional changes in the neurons and these changes are referred to as engram and they form memory of that experience. Reactivation of these neurons occur when patient tries to recall those memories.[1] Memory is divided into groups depending on the duration:
- Sensory memory: Information from around us is stored as sensory memory.[2]
- Short-term memory are for short period of time and use existing neuronal network.
- Long-term memory are long lasting and are formed by structural/functional changes in neuronal network.[3]
Pathogenesis
| Types of Amnesia | Pathogenesis |
|---|---|
| Dissociative Amnesia | Psychological origin. |
| Transient global amnesia | Precipitated by brain ischemia, migraine, epileptic seizure, venous congestion, psychological trauma.[4] |
| Post-traumatic Amnesia | Amnesia that follows head trauma could be temporary or permanent.[5] |
| Infantile Amnesia | Influenced by cultural norms and sexual repression.[6] |
| Drug-Induced Amnesia | Benzodiazepine are the most common group of drugs that can cause drug-induced amnesia, especially if used with alcohol.[7] |
| Neurologically Derived Amnesia | Brain regions involved are the hippocampus and the medial temporal lobes.[8] |
| Amnesia in Korsakoff’s Syndrome | Caused by thiamine deficiency due to prolonged alcohol use or severe malnutrition. Deficiency of thiamine damages medial thalamus, mammillary bodies and causes cerebral atrophy due to lack of pyruvate decarboxylation.[9] |
| Epileptic Amnesia | Rare, episodic amnesia seen in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy.[10] |
| Lacunar amnesia | Occurs due to brain damage. These patients have a gap in memory.[11] |
Genetics
- Alzheimer's disease:[12]
- Late-onset: Apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene on chromosome 19. This gene has variable risk of developing Alzheimer's disease depending on the allele. APOE ε4 increases the risk, APOE ε3 neither increases nor decreases and APOE ε2 allele provides some protection against the disease.
- Early-onset: Amyloid precursor protein (APP) on chromosome 21, presenilin 1 (PSEN1) on chromosome 14 and presenilin 2 (PSEN2) on chromosome 1 are associated with early-onset Alzheimer's disease.
- Deficiency of RbAp48 protein encoded by RBBP4 gene have been co-related to memory loss.[13]
Gross Pathology
On gross pathology, generalized cortical atrophy, more pronounced in hippocampus and medial temporal lobe is seen in patients with Alzheimer's disease.[14]
Microscopic Pathology
- Korsakoff's syndrome:[15]
- Gliosis and microhemorrhages found in periaqueductal and paraventricular region.,
- Mamillary bodies atrophy and
- Atrophy seen in thalamus
- Microscopic features seen in Alzheimer's disease are, amyloid plaques, intracellular neurofibrillary tangles, tau-positive neuropil threads, dystrophic neurites, activated microglia, reactive astrocytes, eosinophilic Hirano bodies, granulovacuolar degeneration and cerebral amyloid angiopathy.[14]
