My memory was significantly impaired by the time I was age 20. Prior to that, who knows? I don't know what to think. My guess is that memory is affected immediately upon the onset of depression. I just don't think there is enough routing of messages making their way down to the hippocampus. Early on, the hippocampus is probably healthy enough to handle the volume, it is just that the volume is not there. It is being muted upstream because signal transduction is muffled. Without the normal amount of stimulation to keep it active, the hippocampus atrophies from disuse.
