One of the first signs of Alzheimer's Disease is short term memory inpairment. On the other hand the hippocampus and the entorhinal cortex are one of the first areas damaged by AD and these two are involved in the process of turning short ther memory into long term memory. Why is short term memory inpairment one of the first signs of AD and not the ability to form long term memories? Is the short term memories formation linked to the hippocampus also?
