Memory Consolidation

The process by which short-term memories are integrated and stabilized into long-term storage in the brain.

Hippocampus

A major component of the brain of humans and other vertebrates, playing crucial roles in the consolidation of information from short-term memory to long-term memory, and in spatial memory that enables navigation.

Cerebral Cortex

The outer layer of the cerebrum in the brain, playing a key role in memory, attention, perception, cognition, awareness, thought, language, and consciousness.
