What changes to the brain would occur in a werewolf transformation?

With typical modern depictions of werewolves (ie: turning into wolf-human hybrids) the victim suffers temporary amnesia and a loss of personality while transformed, is put into a state of extreme predatory hunger. And when they return to normal, they have no memory of what happened, and are in a state of confusion that may or may not be the result of lingering neurochemicals.

What kind of changes would have to occur in the brain in order for those effects to manifest? Based on my own limited knowledge of the brain, at the very least the transformation would probably cause the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus to be partially shut down.
