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.
The brain is divided into: 1  Cerebrum - the largest part of the brain. It is the centre for thought and intelligence. 2  Cerebral cortex - the outside of the cerebrum. Its function is learning, reasoning, language and memory. 3  Cerebellum - lies below the cerebrum at the back of the skull.
