The hippocampus is a region of the brain that plays a key role in the formation and retrieval of explicit memories (memories that can be consciously recalled). The hippocampus is also involved in recognizing and recalling long-term memories, as well as in conditioning (the process of learning to associate a particular response with a particular stimulus). The hypothalamus is involved in regulating many physiological processes, but not specifically related to memory processing. The hyoid is a bone in the neck and the hypoglossal cortex is a part of the brain involved in controlling language and motor functions of the tongue.
