A Hippocampus is an S-shaped brain structure embedded deep in the temporal lobe of each cerebral cortex. It is an important part of the limbic system, a cortical region that regulates motivation, emotion, learning, navigation, and memory.

A pyramidal is a pyramid-shaped cell or neuron that is found in parts of the brain. It is pretty much a pathway of neurons throughout the brain and it can transmit signals that function to control voluntary movements. 
A plexiform layer is made of pyramidal cell axons and hippocampal afferent fibers and contains the Alvear pathway. The plexiform layer is situated near the inferior horn of the lateral ventricle.  ]]> 2021-11-01 01:23:32 UTC https://padlet.com/1726224/3kg5deymfq3o2xau/wish/1857483807 1726224 https://padlet.com/1726224/3kg5deymfq3o2xau/wish/1857484791 The main role of the Hippocampus is memory. It is principally thought that the Hippocampus is involved with storing long-term memory and preserving those memories. The Hippocampus is also thought to be involved with navigation and spatial processing. Think about what you did yesterday? Your hippocampus is working right now trying to figure out what your memory and details of it and there will be some forgotten things. The Hippocampus will try to make it to a cohesive memory and it can help humans find 2 types of memory... Declaritive and spatial relationships. Declarative memories are those related to facts and events. Examples include learning how to memorize speeches or lines in a play.
Spatial relationship memories involve pathways or routes. For example, when a cab driver learns a route through a city, they use spatial memory. Spatial relationship memories appear to be stored in the right hippocampus. The hippocampus is also where short-term memories are turned into long-term memories. These are then stored elsewhere in the brain.

It could also mean that you have no memory of your past.

The Hippocampus is located deep in the temporal lobe which is in the middle and beside the ear.]]> 2021-11-02 01:54:12 UTC https://padlet.com/1726224/3kg5deymfq3o2xau/wish/1860306481 1726224 https://padlet.com/1726224/3kg5deymfq3o2xau/wish/1862529733 In 1953 a 27-year-old male named Henry Molaison AKA HM suffered from seizures so the doctors removed his temporal lobes without knowing the consequences of what they have done.  HM wasn't capable of forming new memories but had memories of his childhood specifically HIS own memories which are called episodic memories. This operation was a tragedy but at the same time, a really important discovery as surgery on the hippocampi will never be approved again. HM then became an experiment subject in Penfield and Milner's experiments and research about memory. HM passed away on December 2nd, 2008 at the age of 82 but the knowledge that he gave the researchers and students and the world at that a great understanding about memory.]]> 2021-11-02 18:30:36 UTC https://padlet.com/1726224/3kg5deymfq3o2xau/wish/1862529733 1726224 https://padlet.com/1726224/3kg5deymfq3o2xau/wish/1863497722 2021-11-03 03:24:24 UTC https://padlet.com/1726224/3kg5deymfq3o2xau/wish/1863497722 1726224 https://padlet.com/1726224/3kg5deymfq3o2xau/wish/1863728442 https://youtu.be/PDHqL_I3C_k]]> 2021-11-03 05:23:59 UTC https://padlet.com/1726224/3kg5deymfq3o2xau/wish/1863728442
