When we remember new facts by repeating them or by employing various Mnemonic Devices, we are actually passing them through the hippocampus several times. The hippocampus keeps strengthening the associations among these new elements until, after a while, it no longer needs to do so. The cortex will have learned to associate these various properties itself to reconstruct what we call a memory.

But the hippocampus and the cortex are not the only structures involved in long-term memory and its various manifestations in the brain.
