The<unk>  is one of several brain areas that produces both an anterograde and retrograde amnesia when damaged. People with lesions involving the<unk>  also display a form of topographical disorientation whereby they can recognise and identify environmental landmarks, but are unable to use them to orientate themselves. The<unk>  is one of the first regions to undergo pathological changes in Alzheimer's disease and its prodromal phase of mild cognitive impairment. There are also experimental findings showing that layer 5 of the<unk>  is likely responsible for dissociative states of consciousness in mammals.
