What are the brain areas relating to long-term explicit memory?
Hippocampus, neocortex
What are the brain areas relating to implicit long-term memory?
Amygdala, basal ganglia, cerebellum
What is the function and location of the hippocampus?
Function: Consolidation of new declarative/explicit long term memory.
Location: Mid-temporal lobe of each hemisphere.
What is the function and location of the neocortex?
Function: Interacts with hippocampus in the storage and retrieval of explicit memories.
Location: Top layer of cerebral cortex
What is the function and location of the amygdala?
Function: Consolidation of memories that have significant emotional content, especially information relating to fear.
Location: Just above and interconnected with hippocampus in medial temporal lobe.
What is the function and location of the basal ganglia?
Formation/encoding of motor skills involving voluntary movement. (e.g knitting, golf swing)
-involved in procedural memories acquired through habituation/habit learning.
Location: Structures deep within the cerebral hemispheres.
What is the function and location of the cerebellum?
