1. Memory involves multiple brain structures working together, including the hippocampus, medial temporal lobe, striatum, thalamus, and neocortex. 2. Visual information is first processed in the visual cortex, then held in short-term memory in the frontal lobes. 3. The hippocampus stores new information from short-term memory for weeks or months before transferring it to the cerebral cortex for long-term storage. 4. Recalling long-term memories routes information from the cerebral cortex back to the frontal lobes for temporary storage in working memory.
