Understanding Short-term, Medium-term and Long-term Memory
17:17 - 28:19 (11:01)
The distinction between short-term, medium-term and long-term memory is broadly explained in this transcript. The discussion also includes working memory and the clinical case related to the role of the hippocampus in memory.

Summary
The process of learning involves strengthening existing neurons through repetition or strong activation. Short-term, medium-term, and long-term memory are the main types of memory that exist, with repetition being the most obvious way to remember information.

Summary
Anatomists named the hippocampus after the seahorse due to its shape, but the hippocampus’ role in memory and recalling information is more complex than its appearance. Explicit procedural and explicit declarative memories are linked to the hippocampus, while subconscious memories are stored elsewhere in the brain.
