What part of the brain is used for memory?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

It is the part that contains memory

If you mean long-term storage, we may speak of several parts which are responsible for storing differend kinds of data, e.g. visual (images) or audio (sounds). And they are distributed in different parts of brain. But all the data is primarily processed in the pre-frontal lobe which is placed in the forehead and can be called a short-term storage.

The memory is associated with the Cerebral cortex part of the brain. This is the most developed section of the brain.

Answer 4
