The amygdala and hippocampus are two parts of the limbic system of the brain. Both of these parts have primary functions that relate to memories and reactions to emotional aspects. These two parts, as part of the limbic system as a whole, deal with how the human brain processes these emotions and memories.he amygdala and hippocampus rely on each other to form their individual functions. Responses to stimuli are regulated by the amygdala and those responses are then used by the hippocampus in the formation of both short-term and long-term memories.
In Alzheimer's disease, the hippocampus is one of the first regions of the brain to suffer damage; memory loss and disorientation are included among the early symptoms. Damage to the hippocampus can also result from oxygen starvation (hypoxia), encephalitis, or medial temporal lobe epilepsy.amage to the hippocampus does not affect some types of memory, such as the ability to learn new skills (playing a musical instrument or solving certain types of puzzles, for example). This fact suggests that such abilities depend on different types of memory (procedural memory) and different brain regions.
