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 cerebellum (âlittle brainâ) is a structure that is located at the back of the brain, underlying the occipital and temporal lobes of the cerebral cortex (Figure 5.1). Although the cerebellum accounts for approximately 10% of the brainâs volume, it contains over 50% of the total number of neurons in the brain.
