Additionally, patients with brain atrophy may exhibit symptoms similar to Alzheimer's disease, such as emotional indifference, decreased understanding, and decreased spatial perception.

Brain atrophy can affect the quantity and vitality of the hippocampal tissue in the brain, thereby affecting memory. Compared to ordinary memory defects, brain atrophy can damage formed synaptic structures. Therefore, patients may not only find it difficult to remember recent events but may also gradually forget certain important past events, and even exhibit conditions like not recognizing people or forgetting basic behavioral norms.
