Exploring Memory Systems After Pediatric Posterior Fossa Tumor: From Memory Profile Comparisons in Nonirradiated Versus Irradiated Patients to Episodic Memory Tests Capable of Detecting Radiation-induced Hippocampal Damage.

Memory impairment is a frequent long-term cognitive sequela in PFT survivors, especially after radiation therapy. New ecological tests of episodic memory that are more sensitive to radiation-induced deficits than conventional tests could yield specific markers of the toxicity of medial temporal lobe irradiation.
