2.  Short term memory activates the frontal lobe
 Long term memory activates the temporal lobe

4.  Information goes one way from the cortex  basil ganglia
 Unconscious – No feedback to neocortex
 Dopamine is the major neurotransmitter

5.  Medial Temporal Region
 Hippocampus
 Amygdala
 Entorhinal Cortex
 Degenerates in Alzheimer’s
 Parahippocampal Cortex
 Visuospatial processing
 Perirhinal Cortex
 Visual object memory

6.  Hippocampus is involved in memory for location
of things – mental maps
 Better spatial memory  larger hippocampus
 IE: london taxi drivers
 Visual Object Memory

7.  Amygdala and hypothalamus play a large role
 Increased release of stress hormones  increase in
memory consolidation
