Autoantibodies linked with voltage-gated potassium channel (VGKC)-complex antibody-mediated limbic encephalitis (LE) bind to hippocampal subfields. Miller et al. report that chronic LGI1 antibody VGKC-complex LE is associated with focal CA3 atrophy on 7.0-Tesla neuroimaging and autobiographical episodic amnesia. The results point to antibody-mediated pathogenicity and CA3-mediated impairment of episodic memory.
