Infographic Activity 6.3: Tracking Memory in the Brain

Tracking Memory in the Brain

Whether with lab rats or case studies, psychologists have spent decades tracking the location of memory in the brain.

Memory is formed, processed, and stored throughout the brain, and different types of memory have different paths. So to find memory in the brain, it helps to know your way around the brain’s structures. Remembering the amygdala’s role in processing basic emotion, for instance, can help you understand its role in processing the emotional content of memories.
