How Can Histological Studies Inform Clinical Practice?
Histological studies of the hippocampus can inform clinical practice by identifying biomarkers for disease diagnosis and progression. For example, the presence of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the hippocampus can aid in the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease. Additionally, understanding the cellular and molecular changes associated with hippocampal volume alterations can lead to the development of targeted therapies aimed at preserving or restoring hippocampal function.
