Psychobiology: Y2 LCRS 2: Memory
This flashcard set outlines the neural correlates of memory, especially episodic memory involving the hippocampus and related structures. It details the four key stages of the memory process—registration, encoding, storage, and retrieval—and identifies the core components of Baddeley’s multicomponent working memory model, along with their associated brain regions.
What are the neural correlates of memory?
Episodic memory: involves the medial temporal lobes including the hippocampus and the parahippocampal cortex
