Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Where are explicit memories processed?
A
Hippocampus
B
Cerebellum
C
Hypothalamus
D
Motor Cortex
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -For explicit memories – which are about events that happened to you (episodic), as well as general facts and information (semantic) – there are three important areas of the brain: the hippocampus, the neocortex and the amygdala. Implicit memories, such as motor memories, rely on the basal ganglia and cerebellum.

Detailed explanation-2: -Currently, there is no convincing evidence that implicit memory is associated with the hippocampus. If the aim is to find an association between implicit memory and the hippocampus, future studies will need to make a much stronger case that their task only reflects implicit memory.

Detailed explanation-3: -The frontal lobes and hippocampus are parts of the brain network dedicated to explicit memory formation.
