HIPPOCAMPUS
// MEMORY MAPPING

Spatial navigation, episodic memory, imagination

The brain’s cartographer — stitching time, place, and feeling into retrievable stories.

Seahorse-shaped and tucked in the medial temporal lobe, the hippocampus encodes episodic memories and cognitive maps, working with the amygdala for emotional tagging and the prefrontal cortex for planning and recall. The case of patient H.M. (1953) revealed its necessity for forming new long-term memories. It also supports scene construction and mental time travel, using similar circuitry for remembering the past and simulating the future.
