Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Memories are stored initially in the hippocampus, where synapses among excitatory neurons begin to form new circuits within seconds of the events to be remembered. An increase in the strength of a relatively small number of synapses can bind connected neurons into a circuit that stores a new memory.
Detailed explanation-2: -Most available evidence suggests that the functions of memory are carried out by the hippocampus and other related structures in the temporal lobe.
Detailed explanation-3: -Glutamate: The most plentiful neurotransmitter found in the nervous system, glutamate plays a role in cognitive functions such as memory and learning.
