hippocampus

What:

"To use a networking analogy, the hippocampus is like a router and it is periodically replaced when it goes bad (cells die) but the network on which it resides is losing computers everyday. Eventually, the router will be around, but all of the computers will die."

What:

"Researchers think that a part of the brain called the hippocampus is like the scratch-pad of memory, where we put new things that have been experienced or learned until they can be filed for long-term storage. During sleep, these memories are 'reactivated' and transferred to the cortex. "

"Students are learning about the big helpers: Prefrontal Cortex, Amygdala, and Hippocampus. This week, we focused on how our hippocampus is like a scrapbook and saves everything important that we want to remember. Students illustrated their favorite memories for a class book. What favorite memory is stored in your hippocampus? "

"A simplified analogy might be that the hippocampus is like a whiteboard where you can write up short-term memories," Edwards says. "And then these are either converted to long-term memories or forgotten, similar to erasing the whiteboard."

What:

"The hippocampus and amygdala work together. The hippocampus is like an "experience" assembly line and the amygdala its workers. The hippocampus sends our current and past experiences to either "long term" memory or the recycling bin. And the amygdala puts a stamp on the experience. This stamp can be things like "dangerous", "interesting", "useful", etc... But the stronger the stamp, the more likely it will affect your future behavior. And anything with a stamp goes to long term memory."

What: "I chose to illustrate the hippocampus, that funky seahorse-looking structure in the middle of the brain that regulates emotion and memory. Thus, we get this. Our hippocampus is like a series of sticky notes stuck to our brains, reminding us of things we have to do and how to do them. "A nice visual in the link.
