There isn't a single exact location of memory storage. The process of encoding and retrieving memories is a complex one, requiring many structures to function. The hippocampus and prefrontal cortex are two major areas- however numerous other areas play a part.

While these areas are integral to the process of encoding and retrieving, as to where memories are physically stored, there is no solid answer. Neurologists have done studies in which they teach a mouse a trick, then remove the right half of its brain, and it still remembers the trick (Though how they were able to keep the mouse alive with half a brain, I have no idea). Then, they remove the left half, and it still remembers the trick! The deduction is that the memory remains intact, independent of the functioning of any physical part of the brain. I have heard it concluded that ALL memory must exist in ALL parts of the brain equally at ALL times.

Where is storing memory in brain?

Memory in the brain is stored through complex neural networks and connections. It is believed that memories are distributed across various regions in the brain, with different regions being responsible for different types of memory such as short-term and long-term memory. The hippocampus, located in the temporal lobe, plays a crucial role in the formation and retrieval of memories.

What is memory trace and how it works?

The influence or change that our experience retains on our physic and mind is known as memory trace. A memory trace is a memory formed during the first experiencing of an event. An Example is when a person sees a stop sign for the first time this creates a memory trace for a stop sign. It is the idea that misleading post event information impairs or replaces memories that were formed during the original experiencing of an event.

The quest for a physical basis of memory involves a search for a?

The quest for a physical basis of memory involves a search for the neural mechanisms and processes that underlie the encoding, storage, and retrieval of memories in the brain. This includes understanding how information is transferred and represented within the network of neurons, synapses, and neural circuits. Researchers investigate various aspects such as synaptic plasticity, neurochemical signaling, and structural changes in the brain to uncover the biological foundation of memory.
