Neuroanatomy of memory

Neuroanatomy of memory is all about how different parts of your brain help you remember things. Your brain is made up of many different parts, and each part has a special job to help us remember things. The brain stores memories so that you can use them in the future. To do this, the brain uses a special part called the hippocampus. The hippocampus is the part of your brain that makes sure you can remember things. The hippocampus also links information from one part of the brain to another, allowing you to remember things in the right order. In order to store memories, the brain must link together different pieces of information and store them in a special way. For example, when you learn something new, your brain links the sound of the words to the meaning of the words and stores this information in the hippocampus.
