Hippocampal dysfunction after autoimmune encephalitis depending on the antibody type
We observed mainly normal neurocognitive functions after autoimmune and bacterial encephalitis. However, compared to NMDAR patients, patients with non-NMDAR autoimmune encephalitis showed a significant and material-specific association between a right-sided hippocampal lesion and limitations in figural-mnestic and incidental learning capacities. Neurocognitive functions in AE patients should be further evaluated prospectively and in more detail.
