"The hippocampus (named after its resemblance to the seahorse, from the Greek hippos meaning "horse" and kampos meaning "sea monster") is a major component of the brains of humans and other vertebrates. Humans and other mammals have two hippocampi, one in each side of the brain. It belongs to the limbic system and plays important roles in the consolidation of information from short-term memory to long-term memory and spatial navigation. The hippocampus is located under the cerebral cortex;[1] and in primates it is located in the medial temporal lobe, underneath the cortical surface. It contains two main interlocking parts: Ammon's horn[2] and the dentate gyrus."

She looks lovely. A lot of hard work but she does have nice looking lines to her hull and superstructure. Welcome to the forum as well!!

 

PS I think the yellow Volvo tractor unit and heavy lift slider trailer is quite interesting too! But I like anything that floats, fly's or moves in general !
