the hippocampus 脳科学もので必ず出てくると言っても過言でない「海馬」ですわ。
The hippocampus is a major component of the brains of humans and other vertebrates.
It belongs to the limbic system and plays important roles in the consolidation of information
from short-term memory to long-term memory and spatial navigation.
Humans and other mammals have two hippocampi, one in each side of the brain.
