A. Hippocampus. The hippocampus is an essential part of the brain in regards to memory, and in particular this part of the brain is responsible for the conversion of short-term memory to long-term. Malfunctions in this part of the brain can indeed lead to spontaneous losses of memory of things like where the car keys were last placed or the names of individuals.
