The Human Body Nervous Systems - The Hippocampus

The video explores the functions of different brain parts, including the hippocampus, brainstem, and cerebellum. It highlights the hippocampus's role in emotions and memory, the brainstem's regulation of vital functions, and the cerebellum's control of motor activities. The video compares human brains with those of animals like chimpanzees and dolphins, discussing differences in size, complexity, and functions such as echolocation in dolphins.
