text: Presumably the hippocampus acts to aid in the creation of these networks and to thus protect memory and the encoding of new information during the storage and consolidation phase, by the gating of afferent streams of information and the filtering/exclusion (or dampening) of irrelevant and interfering stimuli; i.e. by reducing or increasing arousal in select regions and via inhibitory and excitatory influences on the DMT.
