- Abstract: ROLE OF HIPPOCAMPUS AND AMYGDALA IN MAJOR DEPRESSION:Description The amygdala and hippocampus have been associated with social interactions. Memory is thought to be dependent on the hippocampal system. The amygdala is prominently involved in producing emotional responses and memories. However, our emotional state seems to considerably affect the way and accuracy with which we retain information. The amygdala and hippocampus work synergistically to form long-term memories of robust emotional events. These brain structures are activated after emotional events and communicate with each other during memory consolidation, which are related to neuropsychiatric diseases [1].
