Since the work of the Neuropsychologist Dr. Brenda Milner with patient H.M. in the late 50's, it is well established that the hippocampus is critical for memory processing. Briefly, the memory for a particular event is believed to be temporarily stored in the diverse cortical area but, in order for this event to be remembered, its mnemonic trace has to be fed into the hippocampus. Anatomical work carried out in the rat in the 70's has demonstrated that the cortex surrounding the hippocampus, namely the entorhinal cortex, is essential for this process to occur.
