The hippocampus in Latin means seahorse. There are two, each located in the medial temporal lobes. It is responsible for long-term memory. It is a person's hard drive. The hippocampus is also part of the limbic system. A person who loses the hippocampus cannot store any new memories.

The hippocampus is considered to be part of the cerebral cortex in most vertebrates but it is located in the medial temporal lobe in primates. The hippocampus is the more ancient part of the cerebral cortex.

It depends on whether you're speaking about a vertebrate or primate where this is located.

But what he did to the tower set a series of events in motion that caused Dialga to become deranged, and would eventually cause the tower to collapse and the planet to become paralysed.
