  2. Temporal lobe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporal_lobe

    The medial temporal lobe structures are critical for long-term memory, and include the hippocampal formation, perirhinal cortex, parahippocampal, and entorhinal neocortical regions. [ 4 ] : 196 [ 5 ] The hippocampus is critical for memory formation, and the surrounding medial temporal cortex is currently theorized to be critical for memory storage.

  3. Hippocampus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippocampus

    The hippocampus (pl.: hippocampi; via Latin from Greek ἱππόκαμπος, 'seahorse') is a major component of the brain of humans and other vertebrates.The hippocampus is part of the limbic system, and plays important roles in the consolidation of information from short-term memory to long-term memory, and in spatial memory that enables navigation.

  4. Hippocampal formation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippocampal_formation

    The hippocampal formation is a compound structure in the medial temporal lobe of the brain.It forms a c-shaped bulge on the floor of the temporal horn of the lateral ventricle. [1]

  5. Hippocampus anatomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippocampus_anatomy

    Hippocampus anatomy describes the physical aspects and properties of the hippocampus, a neural structure in the medial temporal lobe of the brain. It has a distinctive, curved shape that has been likened to the sea-horse monster of Greek mythology and the ram's horns of Amun in Egyptian mythology .

  6. Entorhinal cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entorhinal_cortex

    The entorhinal cortex (EC) is an area of the brain's allocortex, located in the medial temporal lobe, whose functions include being a widespread network hub for memory, navigation, and the perception of time. [1] The EC is the main interface between the hippocampus and neocortex.

  7. Lobes of the brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobes_of_the_brain

    The frontal lobe is located at the front of each cerebral hemisphere and positioned in front of the parietal lobe and above and in front of the temporal lobe.It is separated from the parietal lobe by a space between tissues called the central sulcus, and from the temporal lobe by a deep fold called the lateral sulcus, also called the Sylvian fissure.

  8. Parahippocampal gyrus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parahippocampal_gyrus

    Additional research has suggested that the right parahippocampal gyrus in particular has functions beyond the contextualizing of visual background. Tests by a California-based group led by Katherine P. Rankin indicate that the lobe may play a crucial role in identifying social context as well, including paralinguistic elements of verbal ...

  9. Uncus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncus

    It is separated from the apex of the temporal lobe by a sulcus called the rhinal sulcus. [1] Although superficially continuous with the hippocampal gyrus, the uncus forms morphologically a part of the rhinencephalon. An important landmark that crosses the inferior surface of the uncus is the band of Giacomini or tail of the dentate gyrus. [2]
