Where is the Human Memory?

location of human memory is in the Hippocampus.
Hippocampus (English: Hippocampus) is a large part of the brain located in the temporal lobe. Humans have two of the hippocampus, which is on the left and right sides. The hippocampus is part of the limbic system and plays a role in the activity recall (memory) and the navigation room. The term is derived from the shape of the hippocampus in coronal piece that resembles a sea horse. (Greek: hippo: horse, Kampos: sea monster).

In Alzheimer's disease, the hippocampus part of the brain becomes damaged the first time; difficulty remembering and disoriented into the main symptom. Damage to the hippocampus can lead to anoxia and encephalitis.
Hormones are secreted hippocampus, among others, is GHIH.
In the anatomy of animals, the hippocampus is the oldest part of the phylogeny.

Left = neocortex. right = hippocampus.

When people see something new, hippocampus started working.
After a while, the information is sent to the neocortex of the brain and also to the cerebral cortex (cerebral cortex).
These sections can store human memory in the long term.
In addition, the neocortex is also involved in higher functions such as sensory perception, generation of motion commands, spatial reasoning, conscious thought and language.
Well, when the hippocampus is damaged, then people will not be able to keep its memory or forward neocortex.

There is another way, if the human hippocampus is damaged, the possibility of humans can still remember the "feelings". Yes, there are parts of the human brain that is useful to regulate emotions / feelings and emotions storing it in the form of memory or memories. That is precisely the limbic system limbic cortex. Deep embedded in the brain.
