The Hippocampus in Memory
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
The hippocampus is required to form new explicit memories and is not required to retain older ones.
Show
A patient with hippocampal damage recalls a childhood home and cannot recall this morning.
Watch for
The gradient tells us consolidation moves memories elsewhere over time. It does not tell us where.
