If you have been arrested for DUI in California you will be asked to take one of three kinds of tests: a blood test, breath test or urine test. No matter which kind of test it is, you are required by law to comply and take the test.
The hippocampus is a small, curved formation in the brain that plays an important role in the limbic system. The hippocampus is involved in the formation of new memories and is also associated with learning and emotions. Because the brain is lateralized and symmetrical, you actually have two hippocampi.
The hippocampus (named after its resemblance to the seahorse, from the Greek á¼±ÏÏÏÎºÎ±Î¼ÏÎ¿Ï, seahorse from á¼µÏÏÎ¿Ï hippos, horse and ÎºÎ¬Î¼ÏÎ¿Ï kampos, sea monster) is a major component of the brains of humans and other vertebrates. Humans and other mammals have two hippocampi, one in each side of the brain.It belongs to the limbic system and plays important roles in the consolidation of information from short-term memory to long-term memory and spatial navigation.The hippocampus is located under the cerebral cortex; and in primates it is located in the medial temporal lobe, underneath the cortical surface.amage to the hippocampus can also result from oxygen starvation (hypoxia), encephalitis, or medial temporal lobe epilepsy. People with extensive, bilateral hippocampal damage may experience anterograde amnesia âthe inability to form and retain new memories.
