    would be sad. After this has passed, the memory would be recorded as sad moment and then transferred to long-term memory. One of the main reasons memories are affected by our feelings is because of an extremely important part of our brain, the hippocampus (Korb, A. 2015). This part of the brain is mainly responsible for memory, however it is connected to the limbic system. Another piece that is a part of the limbic system is the amygdala, which controls the emotions (Berger, 2004). To say the…

    and sensory information is transmitted within it. (World of Anatomy 10) and ultimately connects to the spinal cord. There are four types of memory: episodic memory, Semitic memory, procedural memory, and working memory. (Memory of biology) The hippocampus is where the memory cells are located (Talk of the Nation.) It also largely controls behavioral responses and is where show term memory is stored (World Anatomy 12). In the cortex, the memories that are long term and meaningful are stored (Talk…

    is involved with anterograde amnesia is the hippocampus. This is a small organ located in the brain’s medial temporal lobe which deals with the formation of long term memories - Lucy’s memory loss is strongly related to the damage of her hippocampus, which explains her incapacity to create any new information to be stored in her long term memory. Neurosurgeons William Scoville and Brenda Miller were the first to describe a link between the hippocampus and long term memory after studying an…

    the brain. The prefrontal cortex is found at the anterior section of this lobe. The parietal lobes are primarily responsible for receiving and processing sensory input.

The occipital lobes are involved in visual information processing and object recognition. The cerebellum underlies the temporal and occipital…

    the result is always cognitive impairment. We find it hard to focus and remember things. Sleep deprivation inhibits the brain’s capacity to form new brain cells as well as consolidate knowledge for memories to form. It is during sleep that the hippocampus (the area of the brain where memories are stored) becomes very active and moves information from short-term memory to long-term…

    Studies show that a full night of sleep can enhance motor memory, and that declarative information can be recalled through a half of a night of slow wave sleep (Tucker & Fishbein, 2009). When memories are dependent on the hippocampus, they are benefited the most by deep, slow wave sleep. This stage of sleep allows retained information to be processed peacefully without interference. When emotional information is retained, it depends more on the amygdala during rapid eye movement…

    Ceylan and Saym hypothesize that because of its high level of organizational structure the caudal region of the DLPFC appears to be the most likely choice. Therefore assuming that repression begins in the caudal DLPFC, the projections from the hippocampus to the neocortex are inhibited and memory retrieval cannot be reactivated. (Ceylan & Saym,…
