Welcome to the Hippocampus Campus!
The Future of Neuroscience
Join us on this journey of discovery and expand your knowledge today.
Our Method of Study
01
Priming
Skimming the reading and jotting down keywords before diving deeper into a subject exposes the brain to improve focus and retention.
02
Feynman Technique
Explaining complex topics in your own words can help you identify gaps in your understanding and reinforce your learning.
03
Mapping
Organising information into visual maps (E.g. mind maps, flow charts, etc) fosters a better understanding by highlighting relationships and connections between ideas.
04
Practice Questions
Testing your comprehension of material through practice questions helps consolidate and solidify the information through active recall.
05
Application
Thinking about how concepts are used in real-world scenarios deepens understanding and encourages practical problem-solving.
06
Spaced Repetition
Reviewing the information you learned at increasing intervals over time ensures long-term retention of material.
Explore the Fascinating World of Neuroscience & Neuropsychology.
What is neuroscience?
Neuroscience is the study of the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. It explores how these components work together.
What is a hippocampus?
The hippocampus is a structure in the brain primarily responsible for memory and learning. It is named after its resemblance to a seahorse (from the Greek words hippos meaning horse and kampos meaning sea creature).
What is neuropsychology?
Neuropsychology is a branch of psychology that focuses on how the brain and the rest of the nervous system influence a person’s cognition and behaviour.
Why is neuroscience important?
Neuroscience is important for understanding the brain’s structure and function, enabling breakthroughs in treating neurological and psychiatric disorders, and improving cognition, behavior, and overall health (E.g., Addressing Alzheimer’s disease through early diagnosis).
