Characterizing Cortex-Hippocampus Interactions During Language Processing by Lee, Jiachen Elizabeth

“…In patients with hippocampal damage, language is left largely intact [Vargha-Khadem et al., 1997], suggesting that the hippocampus is likely not necessary for language processing. Recent evidence, however, has shown that the hippocampus may serve functions outside its traditional roles in episodic memory and spatial navigation, and may generally aid in the encoding of relationships across time and space [Cohen and Eichenbaum, 1993]. …”
