Where Are Memories Stored?

The video explores the complexity of memory, distinguishing between short-term and long-term types. It delves into declarative and nondeclarative memory, using Patient HM's case to highlight the hippocampus's role in memory formation. The video explains how memories are stored through synaptic changes, emphasizing long-term potentiation. It concludes with current research on memory systems and potential future insights.
