For people who have never sat down and watched an anime, trying to understand the terminology that is used when referencing the genre can be quite complicated. A lot of the terms are in Japanese, and if one isn’t used to seeing or hearing the language, then the meaning could very easily be lost.

Scientists have speculated that the hippocampus is very involved in memory retrieval, but this is the first direct evidence to support that hypothesis.
