Hippocampus and Memories

In this video, Dr Kushner explores the hippocampus, our brain's built-in time machine. Found deep within the temporal lobe, the hippocampus plays a critical role in forming new (declarative) memories, transferring short-term memories to long-term memories (i.e., memory consolidation), and spatial navigation.

    Check your understanding: Retrograde amnesia refers to A. past memories interfering with new memories B. the inability to create new episodic memories C. difficulty speaking clearly D. the inability to recall past episodic memories

    Inability to recall past episodic memories. 'Retro' is the easy way to remember that.

    My dad suffered from Alzheimer's Disease. The neuron loss of his hippocampus therefore made his memories disappear slowly over time. The loss of his memories was the hardest for me to understand and cope with. Thanks for explaining this clearly.

    There is no ONE structure responsible for "retaining" information. The brain is a complex organ with multiple regions involved in different aspects of information processing and memory. However, the primary structures responsible for retaining information and processing new knowledge include the hippocampus and various regions of the cerebral cortex.

    Hi, thank you so much for your work! One thing remained unclear to me - what the role of hyppocampus in memory consoldation is. Could you please correct me, if I'm wrong? Each time smn recalls the memory of a date the LTP happens, to put it simple, between neurons in temporal lobe and neurons of hyppocampus , thus strengthening the connection between them. And that is how long term memory is formed. And hyppocampus doesnt' play role in LTM itself - storage or retrieving - but rather in formation of it. So when the memories are retrived the neural network doesn't include neurons of hyppocampus, but only neurons of neocortex, does it? Also if sensory information goes from neocortex to hyppocampus - one way, then the connection that strenghtens i is between axons from neocortex and cell bodies of hyppocampal neurons?

    Very interesting! I often wonder about this. I had an accident when I was 7 and lost all long and short term memory. The thing that bothers me is this, apparently when I got home from the hospital I jumped back on a bike and went to a friends house whom I remembered, not that I remember this incident. Did something trigger these memories? Or where they just floating around before fully being erased? I also believe that for quite a few years after my accident I never stored any memory besides traumatic ones and they are vague. It’s really odd to not be able to look back and recall childhood memories, there’s nothing. However, once my brain healed my memory was sharp…it probably had a reset…but so many will never comprehend what it was like growing up and having absolute blankness and to top it off, for quite a few years I wasn’t even storing daily events into my long term memory.

I just got a quick question: so in your another video says sensory information (except for olfactory) goes to thalamus first, and then goes to different cortexes, I am wondering which step hippocampus gets involved? Is it A or B? A. sensory info - thalamus (integrate info together) - hippocampus (close to thalamus, integrate info as well? ) - locate memory in different locations; or B. sensory info - thalamus - cortexes - hippocampus (integrate memories from different locations) - transfer new memory to somewhere else? Thanks!
