Document Summary
What happens when you have to take it out. Hippocampus/temporal lobe syndrome - the hippocampus is located deep inside the temporal lobe. To get to it, you have to get through the temporal lobe. Memory starts of as immediate/short term and will then be consolidated into long term memory. Treat it with things like valium and barbiturates. Too severe, then we will remove the area with the scar tissue. Human speech and language - we need to know where hippocampus is. We have to go in and remove the hippocampus: Hm was examined over decades - just recently died. Suffered from anterograde memory problems: from the time of surgery onward, he was unable to remember things. He could only remember things that happened before the event. e. g. if they knew how to play chess before accident, they retain this knowledge. Immediate memory is also okay - it just cannot be consolidated and stored.
