I’m asking this question because i was so confused because if you lose that memory wouldn’t you also have long term memory loss because the memory is lost.
In: Biology
Memories are stored as connections between neurons in different parts of the brain. Short term, working memories are stored mostly in the pre-frontal cortex. Explicit memories are stored in other parts of the brain and things like muscle memory are in the cerebellum. So if something damages the prefrontal cortex, you might lose the ability to store short term memory, but it doesn’t affect the existing memories stored elsewhere.
