Key Concepts

Hippocampus

The hippocampus is a critical brain structure located in the medial temporal lobe that is primarily responsible for the formation, organization, and consolidation of new memories. It plays a significant role in converting short-term memories into long-term ones and is integral to learning and spatial navigation.

Alzheimer's Disease

Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder marked by memory impairment, cognitive decline, and changes in behavior. The hippocampus is one of the first regions to be affected in Alzheimer's, leading to early symptoms related to memory loss and disorientation.
