In these patients, the unilateral hippocampus adjacent to the tumor was partially exposed to irradiation. A novel approach was used to assess particular memory functions<br>including pattern separation, in subpopulations of subjects prior to the course of radiotherapy, immediately after the course, and 1–2 years after therapy. Our results show a tendency for pattern separation decline in the long-term follow-up. A possible association of these disorders with the effect of the hippocampal region irradiation and inhibition of adult neurogenesis is discussed.</p> <p><br>Keywords: cognitive functions, radiation therapy, hippocampus, parasellar meningioma, pattern separation, adult neurogenesis</p&gt;}, number={8}, journal={KnE Life Sciences}, author={Alekseeva, A and Enikolopova, E and Krotkova, O and Danilov, G and Galkin, M}, year={2018}, month={Nov.}, pages={42–48} }
