The _____ is the part of the brain that is responsible for the formation of new long-term declarative memories.
A
pons
B
hypothalamus
C
hippocampus
D
cerebellum

Begin by identifying the function of each brain part listed in the options. The pons is involved in regulating sleep and arousal, not memory formation.
Next, consider the hypothalamus, which primarily regulates bodily functions such as hunger, thirst, and temperature, rather than memory.
The cerebellum is responsible for coordinating voluntary movements and balance, and does not play a direct role in forming long-term declarative memories.
Focus on the hippocampus, which is crucial for the formation of new long-term declarative memories. It helps in processing and storing these memories.
Conclude by understanding that the hippocampus is the correct answer because it is directly involved in the consolidation of information from short-term to long-term memory.
