Hippocampus for Learning and Memory

Transfer of the motor knowledge makes strong brainpage modules in the working circuits of student’s brain. We believe in the teaching power of education system but the pencil power of motor learning should be focused in the structural collaborative classroom of school system.

Henry Molaison (HM)

Pencil power is the motor finger mapping of brain learnography that facilitates the advancement of knowledge chapters in the field of science and technology. In happiness classroom, the transfer of cognitive knowledge writes strong brainpage modules in the logic circuits of student’s brain.

High Class Teaching

Hippocampus of the student’s brain becomes paralyzed in high class teaching in which the navigation of learning space is not required to explore the objects, definition and functions of subject contents and topics.

The teacher’s classroom performance is the main aspect of education system and its achievement depends mainly on pedagogical techniques and chapter presentations.

High motivation runs in the classroom with hard instruction and so student’s amygdala is hijacked during classroom teaching process.

Hippocampus of Student’s Brain

Students become Henry Molaison during the strong motivation and high class teaching of classroom.

Why is the hippocampus of student’s brain important for learning and memory?

Space and memory are the building blocks of student’s knowledge transfer. It is fact that memory travels in learning space, and so knowledge transfer is conducted with locations and space definition to use motor knowledge in high speed learning transfer and memory formation.

Our children are attending the classes in school education with non-functional amygdala and hippocampus like Henry Molaison who had inability to learn new knowledge and make declarative long-term memory. In Molaison’s life, learning initiative was completely lost and he never showed even conversational initiatives.

Henry Molaison (HM)

Neurosurgeon Scoville localized Molaison’s epilepsy to his left and right medial temporal lobes and suggested surgical resection as treatment for the seizures of epilepsy.

On September 1, 1953, at the age of 27, Molaison’s bilateral medial temporal lobes were resected in which hippocampal formation and adjacent structures were removed including most of the amygdaloid complex and entorhinal cortex.

Molaison's hippocampus appeared entirely non-functional because entire entorhinal cortex was destroyed which forms the major sensory inputs to hippocampus. Some of his anterolateral temporal cortex was also destroyed in that resection.

Molaison’s brain surgery was successful in controlling the seizures of his epilepsy. But he lost the ability of learning mechanism and long-term memory formation.

Although Molaison's working memory and procedural memory were intact, he was suffering from severe anterograde amnesia and partially retrograde amnesia.

It means Molaison was impaired in his ability to form new semantic knowledge or remember past events a few years before surgery. Molaison’s life became the most intensively studied subject in medical history for the new theories of learning mechanism and memory consolidation.

Evolution of Knowledge Transfer

Neuroscience provides the facts and findings of learning mechanism of brain, obtained from the studies and research of mental or behavioral disorders. Obviously, learnography is the subject of applied neuroscience that I have practiced to develop the brainpage theory of school system and knowledge transfer.

The system of direct school is not very hard and it can be applied comfortably instead of teaching system. Subject teacher acts as a chapter moderator to help students in brainpage module making process.

Smart brainpage of the knowledge chapters can transform students into the small teachers of classroom. This is the evolution of knowledge transfer and the most fascinating topic of brain learnography.

High class teaching mechanism is not necessary in school system because the amygdala system of student’s brain is hijacked and hippocampus is blocked in the learning process and brainpage development of classroom.

We must learn a great lesson from the contributions of Henry Molaison’s life that amygdala and hippocampus play a significant role in the development of smart brainpage modules and strong memory modules.

We know that the temporal lobe of cerebral cortex is the powerhouse of school learnography. In fact, amygdala is the modulator of learning mechanism and hippocampus is the regulator, search engine and learning compass of knowledge transfer.

Space, Memory and Learning Drives

Skill, knowledge and merit are the integral parts of student’s life. Children go to school for the learning of subject matter and it is acquired from the teaching performance of prescribed courses.

School education is providing the system of conventional learning in which lessons are taught in the classroom for the easy understanding of subject matter.

The teacher becomes active in blackboard presentation and students remain passive in listening process. This is the theory of comfortable learning in which students are found dependent on teachers for the hardships and challenges of learning process.

In fact, memory travels in space for navigation, exploration and finally learning transfer by applying the motor knowledge of brain circuits.

Space and memory are the building blocks of knowledge transfer. Memory travels in learning space, and so knowledge transfer is conducted with locations and space definition to use motor knowledge in high speed learning and memory formation.

The space definition of associative properties is hidden in human memory to navigate through the matrix, spectrum, segments, compass, module, formatting and intuitive ideas of progressive knowledge transfer.

Student’s Anterior Hippocampus

We know that hippocampus is critical for learning, memory and cognition. It is fact that the anterior hippocampus of brain is significant to knowledge transfer and memory formation.

It has an intricate structure with unique cellular morphology and is positioned at the junction between parahippocampal gyrus, amygdala and posterior hippocampus.

It has widespread connectivity with cerebral cortex and the damage to anterior hippocampus brings a number of problems in learning, memory and navigation.

It is also important that anterior hippocampus has the projections from prefrontal cortex to contribute in the processing of cognitive functions.

Teacher’s Anterior Hippocampus

The classroom performance of maths and science teachers mainly depends on the brainpage modulation of rational thoughts, cognitive knowledge and intuitive ideas based on facts, events and evidences.

It’s true that the brain creates a model of the world around us using cognitive and limbic knowledge. We can use this representation to perceive and comprehend what we see at any space, object, time, instance and module (SOTIM).

These cognitive and motor functions such as perception, imagination and recall of scenes and events, all engage the anterior hippocampus of brain for behavioral and academic outputs.

It has been discovered that the high level cognitive functions of maths, science and technology have been projected in the brain circuits by specific substrates of the anterior hippocampus.
