Detailed explanation-2: -The hippocampus plays a crucial role within the neural systems for long-term memory, but little if any role in the short-term retention of some types of stimuli.

Detailed explanation-3: -If the hippocampus is damaged by disease or injury, it can influence a person’s memories as well as their ability to form new memories. Hippocampus damage can particularly affect spatial memory, or the ability to remember directions, locations, and orientations.

Detailed explanation-4: -The hippocampus is essential for the formation and retrieval of episodic and contextual memory in humans and animals. It is well established that cell loss or dysfunction in this area produces significant amnesia for newly acquired information 1-5. In contrast, the fate of old memories is less clear.
