  2. Memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory

    Declarative memory can be further sub-divided into semantic memory, concerning principles and facts taken independent of context; and episodic memory, concerning information specific to a particular context, such as a time and place. Semantic memory allows the encoding of abstract knowledge about the world, such as "Paris is the capital of France".

  3. Neuroanatomy of memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroanatomy_of_memory

    Lobes in this cortex are more closely associated with memory and in particular autobiographical memory. [15] The temporal lobes are also concerned with recognition memory. This is the capacity to identify an item as one that was recently encountered. [16] Recognition memory is widely viewed as consisting of two components, a familiarity ...

  4. Cerebral cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_cortex

    The cerebral cortex, also known as the cerebral mantle, [1] is the outer layer of neural tissue of the cerebrum of the brain in humans and other mammals.It is the largest site of neural integration in the central nervous system, [2] and plays a key role in attention, perception, awareness, thought, memory, language, and consciousness.

  5. Brain - Wikipedia

    This sort of memory is probably stored largely in the cerebral cortex, mediated by changes in connections between cells that represent specific types of information. [117] Instrumental learning is the ability for rewards and punishments to modify behavior. It is implemented by a network of brain areas centered on the basal ganglia. [118]

  6. Temporal lobe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporal_lobe

    The medial temporal lobe structures are critical for long-term memory, and include the hippocampal formation, perirhinal cortex, parahippocampal, and entorhinal neocortical regions. [4]: 196 [5] The hippocampus is critical for memory formation, and the surrounding medial temporal cortex is currently theorized to be critical for memory storage.

  7. Hippocampus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippocampus

    The hippocampus (pl.: hippocampi; via Latin from Greek ἱππόκαμπος, 'seahorse') is a major component of the brain of humans and other vertebrates.The hippocampus is part of the limbic system, and plays important roles in the consolidation of information from short-term memory to long-term memory, and in spatial memory that enables navigation.

  8. Cerebrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebrum

    In larger mammals, including humans, the surface of the cerebral cortex folds to create gyri (ridges) and sulci (furrows) which increase the surface area. [3] The cerebral cortex is generally classified into four lobes: the frontal, parietal, occipital and temporal lobes. The lobes are classified based on their overlying neurocranial bones. [4]
