Where is memory is located in the brain?

Memory traces for events are believed to be stored throughout the brain, including areas of the cerebral cortex that are associated with a given memory. For instance, the occipital lobe is associated with vision, and thus a memory involving a visual component will eventually be stored at least in part in the occipital cortex. The same can be said for each of the other cortical lobes. The hippocampus is a brain structure integral for the formation of new memories and is the region most extensively lesioned in Alzheimer's Disease.

What part of the brain has the ego?

Supposedly (at least the neuroscientific researches point this way, so this is very probable) it is located in the cingulate cortex. It is the medial part of the cerebral cortex.

Some research indicates that schizophrenia is also connected with the change in the structure of this part of the brain.

Is the hippocampus a part of the cerebral cortex as some texts say or is it within the temporal lobe as other texts say or is it somehow both or neither or what?

The hippocampus in Latin means seahorse. There are two, each located in the medial temporal lobes. It is responsible for long-term memory. It is a person's hard drive. The hippocampus is also part of the limbic system. A person who loses the hippocampus cannot store any new memories. The hippocampus is considered to be part of the cerebral cortex in most vertebrates but it is located in the medial temporal lobe in primates. The hippocampus is the more ancient part of the cerebral cortex. It depends on whether you're speaking about a vertebrate or primate where this is located.

What are the subdivisions of the 4 lobes of the brain?

The four lobes of the cerebral cortex are namely:Frontal lobe: this is located at the front of the brain and is responsible for expressing language, reasoning, motor skills and higher level thought.Subdivisions of frontal lobe:prefrontal cortex: expression of personality and complex thought behaviorspremotor area:has nerves that control voluntary muscle movementmotor area: same as premotorParietal lobe: found in the middle portion of the brain and is responsible for sensory effects such as pressure and touch. The somatosensory cortex is located in this portion of the brain and allows processing of the senses.Temporal lobe: this is located at the bottom of the brain and is responsible for auditory functions and interpreting languages and speech. The hippocampus locted in this area is very closely associated with forming memories.Occipital lobe: this is found at the back of the brain and is responsible for interpreting visual stimuli
