Description

Hey, Brain Explorers! 🧭🧠

Did you know your brain has its very own GPS? It’s called the hippocampus, and it helps you remember places, follow directions, and even imagine where things are! 🗺️🚶‍♀️

Every time you walk to school or explore somewhere new, your hippocampus is creating a mental map—like a little explorer drawing a treasure trail. 🧳✨

So the next time you find your way without even thinking about it, thank your brain’s amazing built-in navigator!
