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.
It is in this region, known as the cerebral cortex, where most of the processing of the cerebrum takes place. The cerebral cortex is made of gray matter with billions of neurons forming trillions of synapses that produce many of the brainâs functions, including planning, creativity, and memory.
