LONG TERM MEMORY BRAIN FUNCTIONS

Question 1

neocortex

Answer 1

the permanent storage of LTM explicit memories (episodic and semantic)

Question 2

hippocampus

Answer 2

-consolidates new explicit semantic and episodic memories
-facilitates retrieval of explicit memories
-works with the amygdala in the formation of emotional memories (particularly the explicit components)

Question 3

amygdala

Answer 3

-encodes implicit fear responses (memories) such as classically conditioned fear responses
-in explicit memory, it encodes emotional components (ANAH pathway and hippocampus)

Question 4

cerebellum

Answer 4

-encoding and TEMPORARY storage of implicit procedural memories (motor skills)
-encoding and storage of implicit memories of simple reflexes acquired through classical conditioning

Question 5

basal ganglia

Answer 5

-encoding of implicit procedural memory for motor skills
-storage of implicit classically conditioned memory
-encoding of habituation learning

Question 6

ANAH pathway

Answer 6

1. adrenaline
2. noradrenaline
   -released into the amygdala + stimulates it for processing
3. amygdala
   -signals to hippocampus to strengthen the encoding of explicit memories that have implicit emotional components
4. hippocampus
   -consolidates and encodes explicit memories
5. neocortex
   -stores explicit memories
