What part of the brain converts short term memory to long term memory?
Very complex question, and still not firmly established. But it seems the hippocampus plays a major role.
What structure of the brain affects short term memory?
the pre-frontal lobe allows humans to temporarily hold information to complete a task (working, or short-term, memory). the hippocampus plays an important role in the consolidation of information in the short-term memory to long-term memory.
Which part of the brain when impaired by alcohol and plays an important role in learning?
The hippocampus. The hippocampus is part of the limbic system, a specialised part of the brain. It specifically deals with the consolidation of short and long-term memory, as well as spacial navigation. This is how alcohol may affect spacial navigation.
What does the hippocampus do anyway?
To make a long story short, the hippocampus plays a crucial role in memory (short term) and spatial orientation, as is proven by Alzheimer patients, suffering from hippocampal lesions. It is also a part of the limbic system, therefore it's linked to emotions too. The region probably has to do with olfaction as well.
Which part of the brain plays a key role in forming and storing the implicit memories created by classical conditioning?

What is the hippocampus?
A ridge in the floor of each lateral ventricle of the brain that consists mainly of gray matter and has a central role in memory processes.

Acetylcholine is essential to the memory. Without it the memory would not exist.
What plays a critical role in maintaining a cells shape?
cytoskeleton.
The nodal system plays a critical role in heart physiology What is that role?
Normal impulse conduction
What plays a critical role as a functional junction between neurons?
SYNAPSE
What plays a critical role in the body's defenses against infections?
the thymus
What has a central role in the formation of memories?
