The human brain contains two hippocampi, one on each side of the brain, located a few inches above each ear. The term "hippocampus"—derived from the Greek words hippo (meaning horse) and kampos (meaning monster)—translates to "seahorse," a reference to its shape. ref: https://www.masterclass.com/articles/hippocampus-explained#what-is-the-hippocamp...
