Cortico-Hippocampal Covariance

Meaning

Cortico-Hippocampal Covariance refers to the synchronized, coordinated activity and functional connectivity between the cerebral cortex and the hippocampus, a critical structure for memory and spatial navigation. This covariance is a key metric of neuroplasticity and efficient cognitive processing, reflecting the brain’s ability to integrate new information with existing knowledge and consolidate memories. Optimal hormonal balance is essential for maintaining this delicate neural synchronicity.
