Discovering the Hippocampus
With the stories of Martin & my sister-in-law firmly etched into my mind I continue with my “research” endlessly watching YouTube videos on mental health. I’m lying on the sofa trying to cope when a research scientist mentions that the hippocampus is the only part of the brain that has been shown to grow in size when used for memory. He also says that the hippocampus, when stimulated, pushes cortisol out of the brain to calm the amygdala. This is the first time I’ve ever heard anyone describing how one part of the brain can affect another. I spring from the sofa like Count Dracula rising out of his coffin & focus on what’s being said, laser focused like a deer caught in the headlights in pure wonder. Could this be what I’ve been searching for?
