A member asked:
What is the difference in brain structure of someone with a memory loss disorder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: It really depends on the reason for the memory loss. Different pathologies have different brain structure changes. And some people with the same diagnosis (i.e., vascular dementia) might have different areas of their brain affected.
