Assuming the damage did not involve an infection, the medulla. The medulla controls autonomic functions like respiration and blood pressure, which you do not consciously control. As these functions are vital to staying alive, losing function of the medulla would most likely cause death.
Damage to the optic chiasm could cause full or partial blindness, depending on the location of the damage. Damage to the temporal cortex could result in impairments in object perception as well as memory. Damage to the prefrontal cortex could result in impairments of executive functions, some examples of which include working memory (holding an item, like a phone number, in mind), decision making, and problem solving.
The human body has a 24 hour circadian rhythm.The Earth's oceans have tides that occur every day.
They aren't scientifically connected to each other in any known way(s), though many people say tides and weather affect sleep patterns and enhance or disrupt the body's circadian rhythm.

What folds in the brain and store memories?
It is not sufficient to describe memory, and its counterpart, learning, as solely dependent on specific brain regions such as the folds of the brain.
Brain areas involved in the neuroanatomy of memory such as the hippocampus, the amygdala, the striatum, or the mammillary bodies are thought to be involved in specific types of memory.
Memory is actually stored in the spaces between the neurons and not in or on certain folds.
