Long-term memories are maintained by more stable and permanent changes in neural connections widely spread throughout the brain. The hippocampus area of the brain essentially acts as a kind of temporary transit point for long-term memories, and is not itself used to store information. However, it is essential to the consolidation of information from short-term to long-term memory, and is thought to be involved in changing neural connections for a period of three months or more after the initial learning.
Scientists do not yet understand many things about human memory and many of the ideas and theories about it are still quite controversial.
For instance, most scientists agree that it is very useful to describe human memory as a set of STORES which are "places" to put information, plus a set of PROCESSES that that can help you find your way around the store.

The frontal lobe

When was Short-Term Memories created?
Short-Term Memories was created in 2000.
Short term memories appear to be localized in the?
Short term memories are localized in the amygdala.
Where are long term memories stored?
In the cerebellum!
Where does learning occur in the brain?
Learning occurs in the cerebrum of the brain. Through a network of neurons, sensory information is transmitted by synapses along the neural pathway and stored temporarily in short-term memory, then neural pathways carry these memories to the structural core, where they are stored in long-term memories.
Short-term memories appear to be localized in what part of the brain?
Short term memories are localized in the amygdala or the prefrontal lobes
What is the plural of your daughter has a short term memory?
Your daughters have short term memories.
What are memories that last just minutes?
You are probably thinking of 'transient', or short-term memories
What is Data that is stored for a short amount of time?
Short-term memory.
Alcohol has the most profound effect on what part of the memory consolidation process?
Alcohol has a profound effect on short-term memory. Because the senses are dulled, the subject is not able process these short-term memories into long-term memories.
Work with brain stimulation truth serums and hypnosis suggests that long-term memories are?
stored in the Hippocampus.
How do people remember?
Well basically what we remember are memories so let us start by getting to know about memory.There are 3 different type of memory : sensory memory, short term memory and long term memory. By using the word remember usually something to do with long term memory because we usually recall things from this memory. Every type of information that we receive or touch our senses are encoding into sensory memory and this memory will transfer into short term memory (short term memory will decay rapidly) and by rehearsal short term memory are stored in many different part of our brain as long term memory(this memory will be stored in our brain for a long time more then short term memory). So by remember something it mean we recall those memory that were stored in our brain.
Short-term memory how important is it?
without short term memory you cant make long term memories. in mice it takes around 30 seconds for information to be transferred to long term memory. before that it is in the short term.
