The chapter investigates the complex relationship between melatonin, a hormone primarily involved in circadian rhythm regulation, and hippocampal function, which is crucial for memory formation, emotional regulation, and spatial navigation. The roles of melatonin extend beyond its traditional functions to include important neuroprotective properties, such as antioxidant effects, immune modulation, and the promotion of neurogenesis within the hippocampus. These properties make melatonin a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, mood disorders, and cognitive disorders. The findings highlight the hormone’s potential to enhance cognitive resilience and emotional health, underscoring the importance of further research to refine its clinical applications. Future clinical studies are necessary to investigate melatonin’s therapeutic potential and establish more effective treatment protocols.
