I'm on a phone so I won't type much. From my dissertational research and reading, I've got no hint that the hippocampus and the cortex learn advesariily, at least to my limited understanding of how such networks work. The hippocampus is thought to bind together the features of events into an integrated memory representation. It may do so by relating coded indexes in the hippocampus for features that actually exist in the cortex. So for example, you observe a car and a bike hit each other. Your percepts for the car and bike (features) are in your perceptual cortices. The hippocampus generates an index that when propogated back to the cortex, reactivates those cortices into a state similar to when you originally saw the event. That is memory...that reactivation. At least that is a popular idea in memory research that has empirical support.
