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 is a small area of the brain that is located in the medial temporal lobe of the brain. It is comprised of two halves, one which resides on each hemisphere of the brain. It is generally agreed that the main functionality of the hippocampus encompasses the creation of new memories, the formation of long term memory, and spatial navigation. Inside the hippocampus resides the amygdala. The amygdala is a part of the brain which has previously been linked with depression. Studies in the past have suggested a direct relationship between a shrinkage in the hippocampus and depression, but the sample size of previous studies hasnât been large enough to yield definitive results.
