Stage: b) planning
In this entry, I was supposed to write small facts about the hippocampus that I will later expand in further entries. I always try to make at least 10 facts, however, I did not find much information about the hippocampus either online or in books, the information I got was always the same thing in different words, which made my list of facts significantly small (6 facts). The consequences of this situation will be the fact that I will not have much to write about the hippocampus in my book. I will try and solve this situation through looking answers and different definitions for the hippocampus elsewhere, such as interviewing doctors.
Hippocampus: - In charge of the storage of long-term memory
- Plays a role in declarative memory (which consists of facts or events that are consciously recalled)
- It is located in the limbic system (in the middle of the brain)
- In schizophrenia and some severe depressions the hippocampus appears to shrink, however studies reveal the shrinking can be reversed.
- It is part of the innermost fold of the temporal lobe
- It is directly affected by estrogen (estrogen increases synaptic density)
