Smart Munchies

The idea started from having to place additional information to a few of my posts which is relevant to the thought I am writing. Though this is not really necessary to an informal blog, it would be beneficial for us to read a few more lines that would feed our brains.

To see all the posts with this bulb icon, you can click on the 'Smart Munchies' under Labels on the right side of your screen.


The Hippocampus

When it comes to brain parts, we always remember the ever famous hypothalamus and neocortex. But here's another part that should get into the limelight: The Hippocampus.

This is the part of  the brain which is all about memory and a little about learning. It's primary role is in memory formation, classifying information, long-term memory. Like the RAM in your computer it processes and stores new and temporary memory for long term storage. It's also involved in interpreting incoming nerve signals and spatial relationships.
