Solution

Hippocampus:
Our brains are divided into two halves or hemispheres.
The hippocampus is a curved seahorse-shaped organ on the underside of each temporal lobe that is part of the hippocampal formation, a bigger structure.
It aids memory, learning, navigation, and spatial awareness.
The amygdala and hypothalamus are two other regions of the brain that control memory.
