The hippocampus is very important part of the brain and is found deep inside the centre of the brain here (), the word hippocampus means water horse, or seahorse because it looks like a seahorse (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5b/Hippocampus_and_seahorse_cropped.JPG/220px-Hippocampus_and_seahorse_cropped.JPG)!
