That was the title for the department seminar yesterday.
Seahorse - for the hippocampus (the part of the brain often associated with our memory for events); a structure that is in the shape of a sea horse...
Space monkeys - for his experiment with monkeys on tasks relating to memory of where things are in any space around them
Slightly random... haha but its something that made his talk more memorable... and I thoroughly enjoyed it (not all deparmental seminars have that effect on moi)
yupz... my hippocampus should be coding the 'where' and 'when' components of my memory for the talk ;>
Disclaimer: There is still debate on the brain structures associated with recognition memory and different aspects of episodic memories (when, where, etc)
