Answer: HIPPOCAMPUS.
Explanation: The Hippocampus in anatomy is the part of the brain located inside the temporal lobe, consisting mainly of grey matter.
It is a component of the limbic system and plays a role in MEMORY and emotion. It is named "hippocampus" because of its resemblance to the seahorse.
It is a plastic and vulnerable structure that gets damaged by a variety of stimuli. A damage to the hippocampus causes loss of memory and a loss of the ability to make new, long-term memories.
