Abstract

The hippocampus undergoes substantial postnatal maturation. This brain structure is central to episodic memory and spatial mapping, and infants lack these cognitive capacities until 18 months of age or older. The still-maturing hippocampus is subject to influences from environmental and genetic factors, helping us understand diverse developmental phenomena.
