Functional and structural differences in the hippocampus associated with memory deficits in adult survivors of acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Radiation and chemotherapy targeted to the central nervous system (CNS) can cause cognitive impairment, including impaired memory. These memory impairments may be referable to damage to hippocampal structures resulting from CNS treatment.
