Brain Hippocampus help

biferi

I know that on the Left and Right sides of the Brain is the Temporal Lobes.

Now inbetween the two Temporal Lobes is a "C" shap part of the Brain called the Hippocamus.

Now if the two hafes of the Hippocampus are one on eatch side of the innerside of the Temporal Lobes does this meen the Hippocampus goes around the Hypothalamus?

Because the Hypothalamus is the Center of the Brain in an Ovel Shap and starting on the Bottom left and righ6t side then going up the back and over the top to make the "C" shap is the Hipocampus?

Thanks

This shows the location of the hypothalamus:

If you can open the hippocampus animation in another window you can compare the locations.

The two hippocampi are actually individual nuclei. Taxi drivers are shown to have a strong correlation with a larger right hippocampus, implying a larger, more detailed memory of city layout.

Left and right hippocampi store different sorts of memories?

I am so so so sorry I ask my thought in the wrong way.

I ment to say the Thalamus is an Ovle Shapt part of the Brain and it is near the center.

And the Hippocampas is a little Streat pice on the Left and Right side of bottom of the Thalamus.

And they start in the front and go streat back then up and over the top and to the front like a backword C is this right?
