AI overview
The hippocampus is a structure deep in the brain that plays a key role in converting short-term memories into long-term ones and in helping you navigate and remember places. It's found in both hemispheres of the brain as part of the limbic system, and humans share this structure with many other vertebrates.

- Humans have two hippocampi, one in each hemisphere of the brain. They are located in the medial temporal lobe of the brain. In this lateral view of the human brain, the frontal lobe is at the left, the occipital lobe at the right, and the temporal and parietal lobes have largely been removed to reveal one of the hippocampi underneath.
