Brain and hippocampus. Coloured 3D computed tomography (CT) scan of the healthy brain of a 30-year-old, showing the hippocampus (centre). The hippocampus is part of the limbic system and plays important roles in the consolidation of information from short-term memory to long-term memory, as well as spatial navigation. Also shown is an EEG (electroencephalogram) trace showing normal activity of the left cerebral hemisphere.
