Quizplus · Accepted Answer

CThe hippocampus is crucial for forming new explicit or declarative memories (such as facts and events), but it is not essential for implicit memory (such as procedural memory involved in learning new skills). Therefore, while Billy may struggle with forming new explicit memories, his ability to use implicit memory and learn new skills should remain intact.
