I was just thinking about this this morning. My hippocampus must look like a dried-up prune. Seriously. I am very dejected and demoralized over this because my memory was one of my greatest assets. Now, I find it almost impossible to assimilate details. Retaining concepts seem to be OK. I just hope that the recent studies are correct in their assertions that hippocampal volume recovers during remission of depression.
