1. Hippocampus Cara Strong, Corinne Strong, Haneen Saed, Mackenzie Scott

2. Location In medial temporal lobe of the brain
Part of the limbic system
Limbic system is location above the brainstem and below the cortex

3. Main Functions Mainly associated with memory, in particular long-term
Plays a major role in declarative memory
Plays a role in spatial orientation/navigation
Emotional Responses

4. Mnemonic Device

5. How the hippocampus can be damaged

6. Drug Use can interfere with memory functions.
alters moods and interferes with the regulation of emotions
Some effects may be longer and increase with regular abuse and can affect memory functions.
TCH disrupts processing and making short term memories to long term memories.

7. Trauma Top three causes of TBI Symptoms of TBI Prognosis?
Car accidents
Firearms
Hard falls
Symptoms of TBI
Prognosis?

8. Stress
When you’re under stress, your brain focuses on sensory stimuli and problem-solving, which alters your hippocampus function
Effects of the overproduction of glucocorticoids (stress hormones)

9. Diseases
Atrophy
Natural
Genetic
Protein clumps
Protein tangles
Cure?
