Actually, no one quite knows yet how this process works.
we store memory in the brain. It has grooves in it,which actually store it. If more number of grooves, more the memory power.

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.
The folds in the brain that store memories are called the hippocampus. The hippocampus is a part of the brain that is involved in the formation, organization, and storage of memories. It plays a crucial role in both short-term and long-term memory.
The hippocampus, located in the brain's temporal lobe, is primarily responsible for memory formation and learning processes. It plays a crucial role in the brain's ability to encode, store, and retrieve memories. Additionally, other regions such as the prefrontal cortex and amygdala also contribute to memory and learning functions.
The basic function of memory is to store information.
Almost the whole entire brain uses storage or memory when it does something. Examples: When we see you may ask yourself the question; how did my brain know that was there? Your brain uses its memory of the world, past experiences, and what it thinks should be there in order to give you vision. When we dream our brain uses memory from our memory storage and mixes non-useful images and ideas together erasing them from our memory, this is why be cant remember all our dreams completely. When we smell our brain uses a its memory in smells and signals the nerves in the nose to smell what we remembered what it smelt like before. Almost everything comes from memory or storage.
in the short term memory it is able to remember something for up to thirty seconds without rehearsal where as if it is stored in the long term memory it can be stored until it is displaced or 'removed'.
The brain's ability to store vast amounts of information is due to its complex network of billions of neurons and their connections. Memories are formed when certain pathways among neurons are strengthened through repeated use, enabling the brain to store information in a variety of forms, such as short-term and long-term memory. However, the brain does have limitations in terms of capacity and recall accuracy.
Memory is the ability to recall information and experiences. Memory and learning are related because in order to be able to remember something it must first be "learned." Memories may be facts or skills. Memory "traces" have been described traditionally as concrete things that are formed during learning and imprinted on the brain when neurons record and store information. However, the way that memories are formed and represented in the brain is not well understood.
It isn't really the same type of memory nor is the method of storage easily compared. For example a computer can store 'one' as a single bit or as 3 bytes of ascii. The brain stores it very differently.
