Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Alzheimer's disease damages the hippocampus, the brain region involved in forming new memories?

Unclear. Multiple peer-reviewed sources indicate the hippocampus is among the first brain regions damaged in Alzheimer's disease and is critical for learning and memory, but most are animal models, mechanistic reviews, or hypothesis papers rather than direct human evidence tying the damage to impaired new-memory formation.
