The hippocampus is a structure of the medial temporal lobe; an area which has long been associated with declarative memory (episodic/autobiographical memory).

Sarjeant (1969) demonstrates that animals possess anatomical complexity of the cerebral cortex and neuroanatomy‚ which is identical to human’s nervous system.
