The hippocampi are two cute little seahorse-shaped parts of the brain responsible for creating and maintaining memory. When the amygdala gets activated during a major stress event, it sends signals to the hippocampus that disrupt its ability to knit together neurons, essentially making it more difficult for the brain to create both short-term and long-term memories.
Resulting in fragmented memories and fragmented identity into before event and after event, or dvlpmt of DID in extreme cases
