14 maj 2024 · The hippocampus is a part of your brain that’s responsible for your memory and learning. This small structure helps you remember, both short- and long-term, and gain awareness from your environment. The hippocampus is at risk of injury or damage from underlying conditions like Alzheimer’s disease.
19 wrz 2023 · In psychology, the hippocampus is a crucial structure within the brain’s medial temporal lobe. It plays a vital role in forming and retrieving memories, spatial navigation, and emotional responses. Damage to the hippocampus can lead to memory impairments and difficulty forming new memories, highlighting its importance in learning and cognition.
20 lip 2023 · Structure and Function. Three phases of memory include (1) registration, (2) storage, and (3) retrieval of information. The hippocampus, parahippocampal region of the medial temporal lobe, and the neocortical association have been shown through autopsy and imaging studies to be essential for memory processing.
25 paź 2024 · The anatomy of the hippocampus is of chief importance to its function. The hippocampus receives input from and sends output to the rest of the brain via a structure known as the entorhinal cortex, which is located beneath the anterior (frontal) region of the hippocampus.
The hippocampus is a region of the mammalian brain that shows an impressive capacity for structural reorganization. Preexisting neural circuits undergo modifications in dendritic complexity and synapse number, and entirely novel neural connections are formed through the process of neurogenesis.
Hippocampus is a complex brain structure embedded deep into temporal lobe. It has a major role in learning and memory. It is a plastic and vulnerable structure that gets damaged by a variety of stimuli.
