Incredible stuff. The hippocampus also helps us regulate current environmental motion/disturbances so we can function when our mode of travels changes. When we board a ship, it take a snapshot of the motion, and references it during the voyage to help maintain our “sea legs”. When we get back to land that snapshot disappears within a day or so to give us our land legs backs. There is a rare anomaly that occurs when someone’s seagoing snapshot doesn’t erase after getting back to land, and that can cause an array of miserable symptoms that can last for months or years. The medical community has tagged this as Mal de debarquement (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mal_de_debarquement).
