Somewhere in the Hippocampus, a small double organ on both sides of the brain, lies the secret to Alzheimer's disease and memory. The Hippocampus also plays a major role in spatial orientation - navigating and knowing where you are.One of our memory tests asks you to remember a series of locations so it may be measuring Hippocampus performance on several different levels. We think it is.
To see scans of the Hippocampus or any other part of the brain please refer to Brain Maps, an amazing University of California at Davis site.
And we welcome your questions and feedback.
