Recall that the hippocampus, part of the limbic system is a double structure located deep in the temporal lobe brain and its functions are related to the memory of recent events and learning, as well as the regulation of aggression and other functions .
This paper published in the journal Pediatrics earlier this year, is one among several, that are proving the central thesis of our blog, which is that the way of life human-in particular the emotional and relational-are felt by the entire structure that constitutes and is therefore involved in the processes that lead to disease.
Certainly, more studies are needed to safely lead us to discover the finer aspects that a decrease in volume of brain structure but the important thing here is that the emotional life is closely related to the body and leaves its mark there.
Taking a look at the previous post, what will have been the hippocampus of the children of Jabba the Hutt?
