The hippocampus is identified as the primary brain region responsible for memory, as evidenced by its role as the center of human memory [1], its critical function in learning and memory [2], and its association with memory-based behavior modulation [3]. Furthermore, the hippocampus is explicitly linked to memory through its anatomical connections [4] and its status as a brain area defined by this cognitive function [5].

claimHabitat navigation is linked to olfactory centers through connections to the hippocampus, memory, and the amygdala via the orbitofrontal complex, as noted by Jacobs (2012).
procedureThe MDIS model describes a process for modulating behavior based on odor: (1) an animal encounters an odor associated with fear based on memory, (2) the feeling of fear co-occurs with a specific location coded by hippocampal place cells, and (3) a link forms between the hippocampus and the center responsible for the sensation, causing the sensation to be evoked upon future arrival at that location.
