gateway to memory
the hippocampus, located within the brain's temporal lobes, is integral to the formation, consolidation, and retrieval of long-term memories, as well as spatial navigation.
for example, when learning to navigate a new city, the hippocampus processes and stores spatial information about landmarks and routes. later, when recalling the way to a specific destination, the hippocampus retrieves stored memories, allowing you to navigate confidently.
