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.
There is no definitive evidence suggesting that gender directly affects short-term memory. However, some studies have shown slight differences in memory performance between males and females, but these differences are often influenced by various factors such as hormonal fluctuations, social factors, and personal experiences. Overall, short-term memory can be influenced by a range of individual and environmental factors beyond just gender.

At first AD destroys neurons (nerve cells) in parts of the brain that control memory, including the hippocampus, which is a structure deep in the deep that controls short-term memory.
Memory is stored in the hippocampus region of the brain. We generally have two kinds of memory, short term and long term.
The frontal lobe is the part of the brain used for short-term memory.
The brain handles short-term memory by keeping it for 35-40 sec. The brain handles long-term by storing the information for a long time, and is brought back when the memory is needed.
Short term memory stores information temporarily for immediate use, like a phone number you're dialing. It has limited capacity and duration, typically holding about 7 items for around 20-30 seconds. Information is either transferred to long-term memory or forgotten if not rehearsed.
The frontal lobe is the part of the brain used for short-term memory.
When you hear a phone number and write it down, your brain uses short term memory.
hippocampus :)
Many different parts of the brain are involved in memory recall (what people commonly call "remembering"). However, if one had to restrict his/her answer to a single brain structure, the hippocampus would probably be the one at the top of most neuroscientists' lists.
