Vector Ze Pillar of the Community United States 611 Posts	Posted Today 11H 5M ago I have so far sidestepped this thread because I am not really into brain anatomy. "The hippocampus is a small, seahorse-shaped part of the brain located in the medial temporal lobe that helps convert short-term memories into long-term memories and supports spatial navigation." - wikipedia Then, I thought, maybe this is about seahorse imagery on coins. Apparently not any seahorse other than mythology. Report this Post to the Staff
