What is the general brain function of the hippocampus ? What part of the hippocampus would I use during a card game

The general function of the hippocampus is to play a key role in memory formation, particularly in the formation of declarative memories, which are memories of facts and events. The hippocampus is also involved in spatial navigation and plays a role in emotional regulation.

During a card game, you would likely be using the spatial processing abilities of the hippocampus to remember the positions of cards on the table or in your hand, as well as forming declarative memories of the rules of the game and the strategies you and your opponents are using.
