Detailed explanation-1: -Motor representations are formed and stored in the brain, just like our memories of people and events. Motor representations for familiar movements, like brushing teeth, are located in a part of the brain called the left parietal lobe.

Detailed explanation-3: -A curved seahorse-shaped organ on the underside of each temporal lobe, the hippocampus is part of a larger structure called the hippocampal formation. It supports memory, learning, navigation and perception of space. It receives information from the cerebral cortex and may play a role in Alzheimer’s disease.
