➢ Forms part of cerebral cortex ➢ located in the medial temporal lobe and under the cortical surface ➢ 2 hippocampi ➢ Part of the Limbic System ○
emotions, memories and arousal (or stimulation).
❖ Formation of new long-term memories ❖ Navigation/Spatial Orientation ❖ Connects emotions through smell & sound ❖ Declarative/Explicit,
memory
❖ Prolonged Stress ❖ Depression ❖ Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) ❖ Head Trauma (Really
nasty Concussions, Car Crashes, etc.)
❖ Hypoxia ❖ Encephalitis ❖ Epilepsy ❖ Aging
❖ Amnesia ❖ Inability to form new memories ➢ when or where a situation occurred (episodic) ❖ Disorientation ❖ Reduced Hippocampal Volume
A Faulty or Damaged Hippocampus may lead to the development of various conditions/diseases such as
❖ ALZHEIMER’S ❖ SCHIZOPHRENIA ❖ ANTEROGRADE AMNESIA ❖ CUSHING’S
❖ Medications ❖ Cognitive therapy
“Just keep swimming.” “Imagine having to win over the girl of your dreams... every friggin’ day.”
