Study Notes
Neuro 11:3
- Explicit and implicit memories are discussed, focusing on areas of the brain involved
- Key regions for long-term explicit memory include the 2 temporal lobes (left and right) and surrounding areas
- The entorhinal cortex, a part of the temporal lobe, is crucial. It's one of the first areas affected in Alzheimer's disease
- The parahippocampal cortex, perirhinal cortex, hippocampus, and amygdala are all important for long-term explicit memory.
- Prefrontal cortex and medial thalamus are also vital parts of the memory circuit
- The thalamus acts as a relay station for sensory and motor functions, and several cognitive functions
- Memories are formed by sensory and motor processes
- Experiences are encoded in terms of sensory and motor processes
- Sensory and motor processes are linked through brain stem, and temporal lobes
- Memory is influenced by attention level and involvement; Attentive experiences lead to stronger memories
- Memory impairment, such as amnesia, can affect different memory systems
- Long-term memory can be affected in anterograde or retrograde ways in various brain injuries, such as stroke, or Alzheimer's disease
- Old and new memory impairment can occur and have a timeline aspect
- Emotional memory is sometimes preserved, even when explicit memory is impaired
- Taste preferences and the structure of the taste buds can change with aging and specific diseases (like Parkinson's). This can affect encoding of sensory experiences
- Memory issues in older adults can sometimes be misconstrued as issues with reality instead of actual memory loss.
- Specific brain regions, such as temporal lobes, play essential roles in memory storage and retrieval
- Different types of memory (semantic, implicit, and episodic) are encoded in various ways in and across different brain regions

Description
This quiz explores the intricate relationship between memory types and the brain regions involved, particularly focusing on explicit and implicit memories. Key areas including the temporal lobes, hippocampus, and thalamus are examined for their roles in memory formation and retrieval. Delve into the importance of attention and sensory processes in shaping our memories.
