Roaming the Brain - Hippocampus

The hippocampus is crucial for tasks such as memory spatial location, environmental layout, and navigation routes. This ability is called 'spatial memory'. It also participates in the formation of long-term memory, helping people remember and recall routes.

The unit is designed for unsupervised public use: controls are recessed or shielded, moving parts are enclosed, and the interface is operable by a child of about six with no instruction. Where a screen is used, the language can be switched without changing the hardware, and the content can be replaced on site.

The hippocampus, as the name suggests, resembles a small hippocampus and is an important part of the brain. The hippocampus is located between the thalamus and the medial temporal lobe of the brain, with a diameter of approximately 1 centimeter and a length slightly less than 5 centimeters. Belonging to the edge system, it is mainly responsible for the storage and conversion of long-term memory, spatial memory, and positioning functions. The spatial memory hippocampus is crucial for tasks such as remembering spatial location, environmental layout, and navigation routes. This ability is called 'spatial memory'.
