Memories are stored in the brain as group of neurons, and each component of a memory is stored in the brain area that initiated it

Memories ae stored in the brain  cells the researchers were able to force the subject to recall a specific memory. By removing these neurons, the subject would lose that memory.

Retrieving of memory is the re-accessing of events or information from the past, which have been previously stored in the brain known as remembering

If some people distracts you when you are trying to remember something then it can lead to the way of encoding memories.

If you are trying to read a book in a crowded public place , you may thnk that you are remembering what you are reading , but you may not saving it in your memory. this can lead to failure of retrieval.

Hi friend,

To store memories in our brain, they must be actively reconstructed from elements scattered throughout various areas of the brain by the encoding process. As said by Paul King, "the memories are stored as microscopic chemical changes at the connection points between neurons in the brain."

The reason of retrieving some memories well and others not that well is that the memories which make their place in the long term storage are easily retrieved but if they dont make it, it leads to failure in retrieval. This mechanism is known as LTP or Long term potentiation.

See, short term memories are transferred to hippocampus(a region of the brain that is specialized to codifying and structuring memories) particularly based on their importance and worth. So, if the information that cannot be stored by the hippocampus, then it cannot be retrieved.

Emotional memories tend to be imprinted more strongly than normal due to their emotional content and impact on our brain.

Note:-The study of memories is still in its initial stages and is one of the greatest mysteries of neuroscience. So, whatever knowledge we have about it today is quite less and primitive.


Hope it helps!
