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.
Which part of your skeleton holds memories?
The skeleton does not hold any memories. Your brain holds memories. Your brain is inside a brain case made of bone.
How are new memories formed?
A memory can be made by doing anything. Memories are formed by what you choose to remember or can't forget
When you consolidate memories in your brain you are doing what?
You compartmentalize them so that they don't have a negative impact on you anymore. In the case of bad memories, this helps with closure.
The folds in the brain that store memories are called the?
Gyri are the folds in the brain that store memories. These are located on the cerebral cortex, along with the sulci.
What language is the movie Memories of Murder in?
Korean
Why does everything seem to you in slow motion during an accident?
This is an effect of the perception of memory. The stimulation caused by danger makes the amygdala to work harder and consciously perceive more. This creates more memories than when the amygdala is in a less active (normal) state, and causes the perception of memories during that time to seem more condensed, giving the illusion of slowing time. Another example of this phenomenon is how time seems to go faster as you age: Because new impactful memories are created at a slower rate, the perception of time in memory is condensed.

How does jazz music influence learning and memory?
Jazz has a good influence as far as memories go.
Which structure is most heavily involved in encoding new long-term memories?
The hippocampus is most heavily involved in encoding new long-term memories. It plays a crucial role in the initial storage and consolidation of memories before transferring them to other brain regions for long-term storage.
Where does learning occur in the brain?
Learning occurs in various parts of the brain, but primarily in the hippocampus and the cerebral cortex. The hippocampus is involved in forming new memories and storing information, while the cerebral cortex is responsible for higher cognitive functions like language and reasoning, which are crucial for learning and processing new information. Communication between these two regions, along with other brain areas, is essential for learning to take place.
Why do we block bad memories?
Scientists believe suppressed memories are created by a process called state-dependent learning. When the brain creates memories in a certain mood or state, particularly of stress or trauma, those memories become inaccessible in a normal state of consciousness. visit: Denoc Hearing Centre
What are humor devices in painful memories of dating?
Figurative language, word play, and character.
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 characterizes associative agnosics?
Associative agnosics have normal perception, but fail to draw on stored memories or knowledge associated with the object, such as its name, or the way it feels when picked up.
