Question

How does the hippocampus aid in the processing and storage of
memories?

Accepted Answer

Hippocampus makes part of the limbic system. It plays a crucial role
of consolidating information from the short-term memory to long-term
memory. Hippocampus also enables navigation in the spatial memory.
initially, the hippocampus reduces information coming from the
cerebral cortex and turns them into small distinctive pieces of
memory. As a result, the memory pieces are transmitted to the region
called CA3 for storage.
