How are memories saved in the brain?
In: Biology
Usually memories are stored in what’s known as your “memory area” – which is the area around between the upper left ear, and the prefrontal cortex. When you access the memory, the brain opens up a memory bank, similar to the search bar in google. Whereupon the brain needs to access the memory for survival, it just has to search the memory depending on which situation it’s in, whether its language, math, or geography. The brain doesn’t actually store anything per se, it just knows how to google things when it needs to.
