Describe evidence showing that the hippocampus is involved in the consolidation of short-termmemory. After long-term memory is established, why may there be no need for hippocampal involvement?
The ____ and ____ are both found deep within fissures of the cerebral cortex. These two regions form a network with the amygdala and hypothalamus. Although they are also involved in other important functions, many modern imaging studies show that they activate simultaneously during the conscious experience of emotional feelings.
A) anterior cingulate cortex; anterior insular cortex
B) thalamus; hippocampus
C) caudate nucleus; globus pallidus
D) substancia nigra; ventra tegmental area
Describe the parts of the brain involved in storage of longterm memory, and discuss possible mechanisms of memory consolidation?

- In the past, aspiring London taxicab drivers underwent a rigorous education that required them to learn the location of about 25,000 streets in the city. The average posterior hippocampus of London cabbies, as revealed by magnetic resonance imaging, was larger than that in a comparable group of London bus operators, who follow a fixed route and so do not have to learn a detailed map of the city (Maguire et al. 2000). In addition, the more years of taxi driving, the larger the posterior hippocampus (Maguire et al. 2006).
