What are the Implications of Entorhinal Cortex Dysfunction?
Dysfunction in the entorhinal cortex is associated with several neurological conditions, most notably Alzheimer's disease. Early pathological changes in Alzheimer's often occur in the entorhinal cortex, leading to memory deficits and disorientation. Other conditions, such as temporal lobe epilepsy and schizophrenia, also involve abnormalities in the entorhinal cortex.
