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.
Different areas of the brain are involved in memory depending on the type of memory. 1  Short-term memory, also called working memory, occurs in the prefrontal cortex. 2  Long-term memory is processed in the hippocampus of the temporal lobe and is activated when you want to memorize something for a longer time.
