Abstract

The different types of memory and the related process of learning are all contained within expansive cerebral circuits. For example the recall of a particular event has elements of visual, acoustic, tactile, olfactory, and language-associated details. For memories to be made, there firstly needs to be adequate attention to allow registration of details, after which hippocampal processing occurs, with consolidation of information which is then relegated to storage in a particular area of the cortex. The prefrontal cortex is required for eventual retrieval, the right PFC for autobiographic details, and the left PFC for semantic information [1]. Clinical, cognitive neuroscience and psychological and neuropathological classifications exist for memory and the related disorders. These may be better understood by reviewing what is currently known about memory systems in evolution of animals, mammals, primates, and hominins.
