Answer:

c. hippocampus      

Explanation:

The options for this question are missing. The options are:

a. amygdala

b. hypothalamus

c. hippocampus

d. cerebellum

In neurology, the part of our brain that is in charge of transforming short-term memories into long-term memories is the hippocampus. When a person has damage in the hippocampus, the person can experience a loss of the ability to make new memories (because the process of transforming short-term memories into long-term ones is affected) and they can also have loss of memory.  

In this example, Mateo had a stroke and now he is unable to remember the directions that enable him to get to and return from his new doctor's office. We can tell that<u> Mateo goes to the doctor usually and it's a fixed route, however he is experiencing a damage that is affecting the process of transforming short-term memories into long-term ones and thus, he keeps forgetting the route to his doctor's office.</u> Therefore, the brain structure that was potentially damaged (since it's the one in charge of this process) is the hippocampus.
