Hippocampus when impaired by alcohol, play an important role in memory

Further explanation

The brain is the body's control center. The brain is part of a body system called the Central Nervous System. CNS is responsible for taking in information through the senses, motor function, thinking, understanding, and reasoning. While all body systems feel the effects of alcohol, the CNS is particularly sensitive.

There are parts of the brain that affected by alcohol, such as:

  1. The cortex, responsible for judgment and reasoning.
  2. The cerebellum, responsible for balance and coordination.
  3. The hypothalamus, for regulating appetite, temperature, pain, and emotions.
  4. The amygdala, for regulating social behavior.
  5. The hippocampus, responsible for the center of memory and learning.

When impaired by alcohol, hippocampus is affected first, causing behavior to become looser and less guarded. Hippocampus is the part of the brain that stores memory. It is still maturing during adolescence. The small amount of alcohol can make teens forget what they did or learned while they were drinking.
