  • Structural MRI scan ratings (with SDs) for RFR and a group of age-matched controls for various brain regions (ordered from anterior to posterior location in the brain), averaged across both hemispheres. 0, No visible damage; 3 (4 for anterior hippocampus), complete absence of area; PHG, parahippocampal gyrus (corresponding to entorhinal cortex); MBCS, medial bank of collateral sulcus (corresponding to the transition between entorhinal and perirhinal cortex); LBCS, lateral bank of collateral sulcus (corresponding to perirhinal cortex); MBOS, medial bank of occipitotemporal sulcus (corresponding to the transition between perirhinal and isocortex.

  • *Significant difference compared with control mean. For further details, see Barense et al. (2007).
