The hippocampus is a key brain structure involved in the formation and consolidation of new memories, particularly declarative (facts and events) and spatial memories. It plays a crucial role in transferring information from short- to long-term memory and is vital for learning and memory processes.
The lateral hypothalamic nucleus is known as the feeding centre and is located in the posterior area of the hypothalamus.

The corticospinal tract is the major descending motor tract in humans, connecting the primary motor cortex with the alpha motor neurones in the ventral horn of the spinal cord. Lesions in this pathway cause an upper motor neurone pattern of weakness, characterised by spasticity, hyperreflexia, pyramidal weakness (flexors stronger than extensors in the arms, and vice versa in the legs), clasp-knife rigidity and extensor plantar responses.
