Memory 2

Where does memory live?
-Karl Lashley: rats in the maze, damaged their lesions, the rats can still remember how
to get out.
-Equipotentiality hypothesis: if the part of the brain I charged of memory is damaged,
another part of the brain will take over the memory function.
-The whole brain is involved in memory.
Amygdala: (declarative and more non-declarative)
-emotion regulation
-lateral amygdala
-paring emotion with memory
-involved with memory consolidation (consolidating short term memory to long term
memory)
-especially for emotionally arousing events
Hippocampus: (declarative (episodic))
-responsible for episodic memory
-recognition memory
-main consolidation happens here
-calls on parts of the brain to reconstruct a memory
Cerebellum: (non-declarative (procedural))
-balance & movement
-non-declarative memory
-motor learning
-procedural memories
-classical conditioning
