Where does the brain store memories?
The answer to this question is at best debated, but for all intents and purposes is unknown. While the hippocampus and surrounding cortical regions are necessary for memory formation and consolidation, it is unclear if there is a specific location where memories are stored per se. Individuals with anterograde amnesia usually have damage to the hippocampus, and while they cannot form new memories, typically still have access to memories preceding injury/disease onset, which would suggest the hippocampus does not "store" memories. The more likely way that memories are stored is that specific memories recruit specific populations of neurons which "code" a memory. The reinstatement or reactivation of those neurons in the specific pattern could potentially underlie the retrieval of a memory. Since neurons throughout the brain are involved in encoding and processing a stimulus - the visual cortex for what you see, the auditory for what you hear, and so forth - it is unlikely that there is any single region which stores memories.

What are the function of cerebrum?
The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain. Its wrinkled surface is called the cerebral cortex. It is the part of the brain that controls thought, memory and the senses. The cerebrum is divided into two parts - the right hemisphere, which controls the left side of the body; and the left hemisphere, which controls the right side of the body.
What are the benefits and costs of a larger brain?
Having a large brain can increase the amount of memory that the brain can store. It also makes you look smarter.
What are the folds in the brain that stores memories?
Gyri are the folds in the brain that store memories. These are located on the cerebral cortex, along with the sulci.
What folds in the brain and store memories?
It is not sufficient to describe memory, and its counterpart, learning, as solely dependent on specific brain regions such as the folds of the brain. Brain areas involved in the neuroanatomy of memory such as the hippocampus, the amygdala, the striatum, or the mammillary bodies are thought to be involved in specific types of memory. Memory is actually stored in the spaces between the neurons and not in or on certain folds.
What does your brain brain do?
Your brain controls your temperature, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels. It can also help you feel emotions, store memories and even help you stand up straight.
Are elephants smart?
Elephants are incredibly smart, plus they have the best memory of any creature on earth, man included. Not only are elephant brains very large, but they're denser than most animals. This means they have more cells and brain matter in their brains. Importantly, to be smart, you have to have a good memory. The part of the brain that houses memory is known as the temporal lobe. An elephant's temporal lobes are more developed than that of man. But this is where it gets really interesting. When a human baby is born, its brain is relatively smooth. As the baby grows and learns, its brain develops folds and fissures to store and hold information. So, an adult human's brain has much more texture, crevices, wrinkles, and folds than a baby's. Elephants have more folds and crevices in their temporal lobes than humans do. This means that they can store and hold more information than a human and that their memories are better. Memory is the foundation of intelligence.
What does your brain do for you?
Your brain controls your temperature, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels. It can also help you feel emotions, store memories and even help you stand up straight.
Why does your brain have crevises?
They are called sulci (singular - sulcus). These are folds of the brain designed to give it more surface area. For a reasonable layman's definition of sulci, the Wikipedia article for 'Sulcus (neuroanatomy)' gives an introduction. (I'm a neuroscience student.) The brain uses the surface area to store information. This area is finite in size and when a person is born, its smoothe. As you age you need more space to store information and the brain makes ridges and valleys on the surface, thereby adding more pages for the book where we store memory.
The inability to form and store new long term memories is called?
Anterograde Amnesia
The inability to form and store new long-term memories is called?
anterograde amnesia.
Why are the folds of the mitochondria important?
the folds of the mitochondria are important to store proteins
What are the tiny structures that store and transmit information in the brain?
They are called neurons.
What is the memory cell?
To store memories.
Why do you need your brain?
Your brain is the control centre of your body. It controls everything you do - it makes your heart beat and your muscles move. Your eye's and ears send signals to your brain and it interprets these things as sight and sound. It is also where you think and store memories. If you never thought and didn't have any memories you would not be you - you would just be a bag full of bones and blood and other icky stuff. Without your brain you wouldn't be able to live and you wouldn't be a person.
