Multiple regression analyses showed a significant association between the left CA1 volume and the 1-week story retention, but this was not found for the whole hippocampus or other subfield volumes. Hippocampal shape analyses revealed that atrophy of the superior-lateral, superior-central, and inferior-medial regions of the left hippocampus, corresponding to CA1 and CA2/3, was associated with the verbal retention rate.
