hippocampus

noun. plural, hippocampi

In anatomy, the hippocampus is an elongated ridge of the brain, found in each lateral ventricle (and shaped a bit like a seahorse or whale). Its function is believed to be the center of emotion, memory, and the involuntary actions of the nervous system.

People with Alzheimer's disease are shown to have damage to their hippocampus, which leads to memory loss and disorientation.

Humans have two hippocampi, one of each side of the brain.

Hippocampus moment

That moment you reach a place and realise exactly where you are. It reflects the moment where your hippocampus (the brain structure involved in memory and navigation which stores maps of the environment you have visited before) recognises that you have been to a place before and merges two cognitive maps together (one map made when you visited in the past and the map made in the present).

I am used to go to the supermarket by taking Broadway, but yesterday I was on South street and reached the supermarket. I had a hippocampus moment! I realised South street leads to broadway!
