The '''parahippocampal gyrus''' (or '''hippocampal gyrus''') is a [[grey matter]] [[cerebral cortex|cortical]] region of the [[brain]] that surrounds the [[hippocampus]]. This region plays an important role in the formation and retrieval of [[topographic | topographical]] [[memory]]. The parahippocampal place area (PPA) is a subregion of the parahippocampal gyrus that plays an important role in [[memory]] of scenes (rather than faces or objects). |

The parahippocampal gyrus (or hippocampal gyrus) is a grey matter cortical region of the brain that surrounds the hippocampus. This region plays an important role in the formation and retrieval of topographical memory. The parahippocampal place area (PPA) is a subregion of the parahippocampal gyrus that plays an important role in memory of scenes (rather than faces or objects).
