- Abstract
- In Greek mythology, Hippokampos means seahorse, and it was later morphed into the English word hippocampus. Hippocampus, a part of the brain, gets its name because of its shape. The hippocampus is a small seahorse-shaped structure located in the medial temporal lobe of the brain. As part of the limbic system, it is well known for its function of declarative memory formation, consolidation, and retrieval (Squire, 1992). Damage or dysfunction of the hippocampus can lead to a variety of memory impairments, such as amnesia (Zola-Morgan et al., 1986). The hippocampus is a highly intricate and multifaceted brain region that is notlimited to memory processing, but also encompasses a range of other important human functions, including emotional regulation.
