Short-term memories are thought to be localized in the prefrontal cortex of the brain. This area is responsible for executive functions such as decision-making, planning, and memory retrieval in the short-term.
Neuroscience has not been able to pinpoint exact what part of the brain controls self-confidence. Although the pleasure centers that are felt by most confident people are associated with the neo-cortex and the visual cortex.
Conscious thought is a function of the cerebral cortex of the brain. The more specific task of language is shared with all of the lobes of the cortex, but mainly the left frontal lobe is responsible for language production in an area called the Broca's area. ANd, language interpretion occurs in the Wernicke's area in the left temporal lobe.
Neurons retain memories through a process called synaptic plasticity, where connections between neurons (synapses) are strengthened or weakened based on repeated patterns of activation. When memories are formed, these synaptic connections are modified, creating lasting changes in the brain's circuitry that store the memory. Memories are thought to be stored in various regions of the brain, with different types of memories being stored in different areas.
Thinking is a complex process involving various brain regions and neural connections. It is primarily controlled by the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for decision-making, planning, and problem-solving. Additionally, neurotransmitters and hormones, such as dopamine and serotonin, play a role in regulating cognitive functions and mood, influencing our thought processes.
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.

The hippocampus, located in the temporal lobe of the brain, plays a critical role in forming and storing memories. Additionally, other regions such as the prefrontal cortex and amygdala also contribute to different aspects of memory processing.
Neurotransmitters send signals from neuron to neuron

The frontal lobe
Midbrain
The olfactory cortex, located in the brain's temporal lobe, is thought to be involved in your conscious recognition of smells. It processes information received from the olfactory bulb, allowing you to perceive and interpret different odors.
