Though the hippocampus is an essential brain structure for the proper functioning of long-term memory, it cannot be regarded as the âmemory centreâ in the same sense that the occipital cortex, for example, can be regarded as the centre for processing visual information.
The analysis of the anatomical and physical bases of learning and memory is one of the great successes of modern neuroscience. Thirty years ago little was known about how memory works, but now we know a great deal. This Chapter will discuss four issues that are central to learning and memory. First, what are the different types of memory? Second, where in the brain is memory located? One possibility is that human memory is similar to the memory chip in a personal computer (PC), which stores all the memory in one location.
