What structure of the brain new memories?
The brain structure related to processing memory is the hippocampus. However, once processed, memories are stored through the cerebrum.
What two areas of the brain are believed to be most involved in long term memory?
hippocampus and cerebellum
What hemisphere of the brain would be able to retrieve a person's name from memory?
The brain's right hemisphere controls non-visual memory, and the retention of non-visual information, so the right hemisphere of the brain would be the one that would be involved with the retrieval of a person's name from his or her memory.
What part of the brain helps you remember things?
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.
Can a cyst on the left side of the brain effect memory an mood?
Yes, many of the structures involved in memory and mood regulation are found in both sides of the brain. A cyst can impair their function and change the way a person acts
What brain structure is involved in creating new explicit memories?
Several structures in the brain are thought to be involved in explicit memory. Most are in the temporal lobe, amygdala, the hippocampus, and the prefrontal cortex. Nuclei in the thalamus also are included.
What is the brain structure called that is located near the hippocampus responsible for fear responses and memory of fear?
The brain structure responsible for fear responses and memory of fear is called the amygdala. It plays a key role in processing emotions, especially fear, and is involved in forming and storing emotional memories. The amygdala is located near the hippocampus in the temporal lobe of the brain.
Involved in learning short term memory spatial memory and is damaged by alzheimer?
The Brain, in particular the frontal and temporal lobes.
The largest portion of the brain that is involved with thought and memory is the?
cerebrum
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 structure of the brain allows new facts to become a part of the long term memory?
Hippocampus

What part of the brain holds memory?
Memory is encoded in the limbic system of the brain, primarily in the hippocampus, although associated structures are involved, as well - including the amygdala and the cingulate gyrus. There are also association cortex areas of the brain which are involved in memory, including frontal lobe regions.
What happens every time you learn something new or have a new thought or memory?
The structure of your brain changes.
