Retrosplenial Cortical Reorganization During Late Adolescence Introduces Instability of Episodic Memory Circuits Open
Impairments of episodic memory, the capacity to remember and re-live details from one’s past, are common across mental illnesses, but are particularly severe in those with late adolescent onset, such as schizophrenia and major depression. …
