Describe how memories are stored and retrieved in the brain. Include a specific brain region.
Memories are not stored in one specific area within the brain but instead are stored throughout the
cerebral hemispheres. The hippocampus acts as a memory center to help with memory storage and
retrieval. The involvement of the limbic system explains why emotionally charged events result in our
most vivid memories.

The _______ fissure separates the right and left cerebral hemispheres.
Median longitudinal
If someone sustains an injury to the area of the spinal cord, as shown below by the blue oval, would you
be more likely to see paralysis or decreased sensation? Explain your answer.
You would be more likely to see decreased sensation because sensory neurons enter the spinal cord
posteriorly.
