What happens if you produce lesions specific to CA3 but not CA1?
I have a question about neuroscience. What happens if you produce lesions specific to CA3 but not CA1?
Lesions to the CA3 region of the hippocampus have been shown to impair learning and memory formation, while lesions to the CA1 region can affect memory retrieval. However, studies have also shown that lesions to both CA1 and CA3 can have additive effects and can lead to more severe memory impairments.
