Role of Hippocampus in Memory

The hippocampus is a critical brain structure involved in forming, organizing, and storing new memories. It helps convert short-term memories into long-term ones, especially episodic and spatial memories. Damage to the hippocampus can lead to memory loss and difficulty in creating new memories (anterograde amnesia).
