Hippocampus
Placeringen af hippocampus i menneskets hjerne.
Hippocampus er en region i hjernen i den mediale tindingelap. Navnet kommer af den kurvede form der til en vis grad ligner en søhest (hvis betegnelse på latin er hippocampus).
Mennesket har to hippocampi, en på hver side af hjernen. Hippocampus er en del af det limbiske system og spiller en rolle i menneskets orienteringsevne og hukommelse.
Hippocampus er blandt hjernens ældste dele og udviklingen fra archipallium er højt udtrykt hos primater og hvaler.
Hippocampus er blandt de første hjerneregioner hvor der ses ændringer i forbindelse med Alzheimers sygdom.[1]

Location of the Hippocampus in the Human Brain The figure shows the underside (ventral view) of a semi-transparent human brain, with the front of the brain at the top. The red blobs show the approximate location of the hippocampus in the temporal lobes of the human brain. Note: the hippocampus is entirely covered by the ventral temporal cortex (i.e., the hippocampus is inside the transparent brain). The figure was generated using MATLAB and Blender. It is based on MRI imaging data from the Wellcome Department of Imaging Neuroscience, UCL and on hippocampal coordinates from the Talairach brain atlas. If you like it, write on my talk page (User_talk:Washington_irving). I may be able to add some other brain regions.
