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.
Prefrontal Cortex. The prefrontal cortex, which is part of the brain's frontal lobe, is the region responsible for short-term memory. The Canadian Institutes of Health Research states that the human prefrontal cortex is highly developed, resulting in the complex functions and manipulation of memory.he task of consolidating short-term memories into long-term memories is performed by the hippocampus, which is located in the brain's temporal lobe. The Canadian Institutes of Health Research note that for a memory to be consolidated, it must pass through a hippocampal pathway multiple times.
