Hippocampus Tiffany Dickens, Estefani Palomino, James Boettcher, Cole Donegan and Angel Villa

Location 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).

Hippocampus Role Formation of new ❖ long-term memories Navigation/Spatial ❖ Orientation Connects emotions ❖ through smell & sound Declarative/Explicit, ❖ or relational memory

What Causes Damage ❖ Prolonged Stress ❖ Hypoxia ❖ Depression ❖ Encephalitis ❖ Post Traumatic ❖ Epilepsy Stress Disorder ❖ Aging (PTSD) ❖ Head Trauma (Really nasty Concussions, Car Crashes, etc.)

Symptoms of Damage to the Hippocampus ❖ Amnesia ❖ Inability to form new memories ➢ when or where a situation occurred (episodic) ❖ Disorientation ❖ Reduced Hippocampal Volume

Associated Diseases A Faulty or Damaged Hippocampus may lead to the development of various conditions/diseases such as ❖ ALZHEIMER’S ❖ SCHIZOPHRENIA ❖ ANTEROGRADE AMNESIA ❖ CUSHING’S

Can the damage be undone? Medications ❖ Cognitive therapy ❖ “Imagine having to win over the girl of your dreams... every friggin’ day.” “Just keep swimming.”
