The hippocampus is a structure found in the brain, and plays a role in learning and memory. It was first described by Venetian anatomist Julius Caesar Aranzi in 1564, who likened it to a seahorse. Hippocampus comes from the Greek hippos (horse) and kampos (sea monster).

Surgeons, put down the Betadine! Alcoholic chlorhexidine gluconate *halves* the risk of infection after clean #surgery vs. any povidone-iodine.  See our #NetworkMetaAnalysis of 14,593 people 👉 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3277… Thanks to the team @oremiou @Nick_Burr1 @OpenResLeeds
