text: Given this, it is not surprising that the hippocampus is particularly vulnerable to the effects of stress and depression .
text: The hippocampus is a sensitive part of the brain.
text: Rather this loss of theta activity is a function of overwhelming fear and high levels of arousal, for although seemingly alert, the hippocampus is desychronized, and the subject may seem frozen and will be unable to respond to environmental stimuli, be it threat or painful stimuli (Redding, 1967).
text: We hypothesized that the hippocampus would be sensitive to the occurrence of event boundaries, that is, moments in time identified by observers as a transition between events.
text: Goleman also stated, “The hippocampus is especially vulnerable to ongoing emotional distress, because of the damaging effects of cortisol” (p. 273).
text: Because the hippocampus and the PFC are particularly vulnerable to the ageing process, it is not surprising that performance on tasks that require information processing in these brain regions declines with age.
text: Of the brain regions affected by ageing, the hippocampus and the PFC seem to be particularly vulnerable, but even within and between these regions the impact of ageing on neuronal function can differ.
text: The hippocampus is a sensitive part of the brain.
