    Localisation & Structure of Brain

    The document discusses the anatomy and functions of different parts of the brain. It notes that the frontal lobe is involved in planning, decision making, and processing stimuli and touch. The temporal lobe processes auditory input and is important for memory. The hippocampus specifically is crucial for forming new memories, as damage to it can cause anterograde amnesia where one cannot form new memories after the injury, though old memories may be retained. Two case studies are described of individuals who sustained damage to different parts of the brain, resulting in different effects on their memory and cognitive abilities.
