Abstract Memory is our ability to encode, store, retain and subsequently recall information and past experiences in the human brain. In order to process and store memory, first it has to be ‘fed’ with bits and pieces of information, most of which are sourced from auditory and visual bodily facilities. Memory is of two types: short term memory and long term memory. Hippocampus is responsible for immediate memory and for selecting the experiences which need to be transferred to the long term memory.
