consisting of memory of how emotional states. Scientifically speaking‚ the temporal lobe is where memory is stored. This is where the brain stores everything one remembers. The hippocampus is also responsible for a part of memory. This is where the process of new memories is introduced into long-term storage. If the hippocampus is damaged or absent‚ one would not remember what is happening in the present‚ but only

Key words: Episodic Memory; Hippocampus; Binding; Recruitment Abstract The memorization of events and situations (episodic memory) requires the rapid formation of a memory trace consisting of several functional components. A computational model is described that demonstrates how a transient pattern of activity representing an episode can lead to the rapid recruitment of appropriate circuits as a result of long-term potentiation within structures whose architecture and circuitry match those of

Introduction Childhood traumas have been associated with many psychological problems later in life. Specifically‚ sexual abuse during childhood shows correlations with many different types of anxiety disorder. There are many theories as to why this is‚ but most of the prominent ones deal with memory repression. Freud first introduced memory repression when he described it as consciously taking an event out of their memory. Since the population of child sexual abuse survivors is to be 1 in 5 girls

THC receptors are abundant in the brain but they are concentrated in certain areas. One region of the brain where THC receptors are highly concentrated is the hippocampus. The hippocampus is the area of the brain that processes memory. When THC attaches to receptors in the hippocampus‚ it weakens short-term memory. The hippocampus also communicates with other regions of the brain that process new information into long-term memory. So under the influence of marijuana‚ new information may never

Spatial memory is memory that utilizes different neurons to help remember the location of one’s environment (Bear 2016). The hippocampus is thought to be responsible for spatial memory. Evidence in the hippocampal role in spatial memory has come from the Morris water maze test. The Morris water maze begins by putting a rat in a circular pool of cloudy water. Submerged in the pool‚ is a podium that will get the rat out of the water. First time rats will swim for longer periods of time and take

portion of the brain has been affected. In the romantic comedy‚ Lucy is the main character who suffered a brain injury in a car accident. Her main symptom was loss of short-term memory. This is caused by damage to the hippocampus‚ inside the temporal lobe‚ as the hippocampus controls memory functions. The character Oola is a friend of Henry Roth‚ whom helps come up with clever ideas to help Lucy fall in love with Henry everyday. Oola is affecting his neurotransmitters by the daily use of

the existence of different stores in memory which are the sensory memory‚ the STM‚ and the LTM. These scans have shown that the prefrontal cortex is active when people are working on an immediate task which is STM. The scans also show that the hippocampus is active when the LTM is being used‚ and this was further proved when there was a study of HM (1966)‚ who has both of his hippocampi removed because of a tumour‚ and after this he was no longer able to form any new Long-term memories‚ but was still

Neurotransmitter – They are brain chemicals that communicate throughout the body. Amygdala – It is located in the cerebral hemisphere that looks like a grey almond shape‚ it controls the emotions we have from hormones‚ arousal and emotional memories. Hippocampus – This is in the medial temporal lobe it’s a small organ and is very important to the limbic system‚ it is what helps with our long term memory. Corpus Callosum – Located in the middle of the brain the corpus callosum is a big ball of neural fibers
