Though the hippocampus is an essential brain structure for the proper functioning of long-term memory, it cannot be regarded as the âmemory centreâ in the same sense that the occipital cortex, for example, can be regarded as the centre for processing visual information.
Certain areas of the brain are especially important in the formation and retention of memory: The hippocampus (so- called because it's shape resembles a seahorse) is a structure in the brain that has the main role in processing information as long-term memory. The amygdala, an area near the hippocampus, processes emotion and helps to imprint emotive memories in the brain.
