The hippocampus is curved.
Sally Robertson
The hippocampus is used for navigation.
Regina Bailey
In Alzheimer's disease, the hippocampus is one of the regions where its first detected.
Sally Robertson
The hippocampus can become also become damaged through oxygen deprivation or hypoxia, infection or inflammation or as a result of temporal lobe epilepsy.
Sally Robertson
Individuals with hippocampal damage develop amnesia and may be unable to form new memories of the time or location of an event, for example.
Sally Robertson
Hippocampal damage is extremely dangerous.
Sally Robertson
The hippocampus was first known as the place where long-term memories were stored when patient HM was operated on.
Howard B. Eichenbaum
Patient HM was a person who's hippocampus was operated on and from that day on, he could not form any memories.
Howard B. Eichenbaum
There are two hippocampi in the brain, each parallel from each other.
Howard B. Eichenbaum
The hippocampus is found on all animals.
Howard B. Eichenbaum
The hippocampus is necessary when trying to learn routines.
John Wood
The hippocampus is where everything you have ever learned is found.
John Wood

John Wood
The hippocampus is very vulnerable to long-term stress.
Elisah Jenning
PTSD is sometimes correlated in the hippocampus.
Elisah Jenning
Patients with schizophrenia are found to have abnormalities in the hippocampus.
Elisah Jenning
In adult humans the volume of the hippocampus on each side of the brain is about 3.0 to 3.5 cm3 as compared to 320 to 420 cm3 for the volume of the neocortex.
Elisah Jenning
Due to bilateral symmetry the brain has a hippocampus in each cerebral hemisphere, so every normal brain has two of them.
Sharon Canyon
Damage to the hippocampus does not affect some types of memory, such as the ability to learn new skill.
Sharon Canyon
Brain imaging shows that people have more active hippocampi when correctly navigating, as tested in a computer-simulated "virtual" navigation task.
Sharon Canyon
The hippocampus as a whole has the shape of a curved tube, which has been variously compared to a seahorse.
Sharon Canyon
In terms of anatomy, the hippocampus is an elaboration of the edge of the cerebral cortex.
Sharon Canyon
The hippocampus is generally involved in many mental disorders and mental illnesses.

The Mystery of Memory
The people who helped the world understand how neurons interacted with each other in the brain was Cajal and Golgi.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sWnkBf5V7s
The Mystery of Memory
Cajal said they weren't connected but Golgi said they were by what looked like a net. Cajal was correct though.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sWnkBf5V7s
The Mystery of Memory
Cajal said nerve fibers weren't continuous and only at the ends is where communication occurs.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sWnkBf5V7s
The Mystery of Memory
When making new memories, chemical sequences in the neurons help strengthen them.
