Brain Regions (Hippocampus, Amygdala)

The hippocampus is a seahorse-shaped part of the brain crucial for forming and retrieving memories, helping you remember facts and experiences. The amygdala is an almond-shaped structure that processes emotions like fear and pleasure, playing a key role in emotional responses and how you perceive threats. Together, these regions work to help you remember personal experiences and respond emotionally to different situations. The hippocampus links memories with context, while the amygdala influences emotional reactions and drives behaviors related to survival and social interaction.
