Structures involved in memory

Memory involves several key structures in the brain, primarily the hippocampus, which is critical for the formation of new memories and spatial navigation. The amygdala plays a role in emotional memories, while the prefrontal cortex is essential for working memory and decision-making. Other regions, such as the cerebellum and basal ganglia, are involved in procedural memory and motor skills. Together, these structures interact to facilitate the encoding, storage, and retrieval of information.
