Answer 1

The correct answers are thalamus; hippocampus.
Thalamus is the part of your brain which functions as the 'hub of information,' meaning that everything is stored there. So, even though Delroy doesn't want to think about it, he cannot forget the turbulence. Hippocampus is there to store old memories and create new experiences about those old memories.
