Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The hippocampus is a brain structure that plays a crucial role in spatial learning and memory. Studies have shown that damage to the hippocampus can result in deficits in spatial navigation and memory tasks. The other options listed (nucleus accumbens, prefrontal cortex, and hypothalamus) are important for other brain functions, such as reward processing, decision-making, and regulation of bodily functions, but not specifically for spatial learning.
