What part in the brain is the seat of... 1-Short term memory 2-Long term memory 3-conversion of short term to long term memory (i think its mammillary bodies) n lesion of which part causes.. 1-Anterograde amnesia (i think B/L hippocampus) 2-Retrograde amnesia

ill give what i got declaritive memory is stored in the hippocampus non-declaritive is in the caudate nucleus. I agree that the mamillary body is the main tract for conversion of memory. I can't really comment on the short vs long term.. But now im interested.

declaritive memory is memory or learning that you can actively speak about. It's not "second nature" like riding a bike.. You dont have to think about riding a bike, you learned how to do it long ago. You just get on it and do it (assuming you know how to ride a bike!). Thats an example of non-declaritive memory. Still, i have no idea about the prior question.

Well... Conventional classification is Declarative: Short term memory: 1. Verbal -like remembering a phone no just told to you... Region: Frontal lobe 2. Non-verbal: just doing routine work-impairment typical example is misplacing objects like glasses, keys, etc. Frontal/parietal lobes Long term memory: 1. Episodic - typicall remembering events-like what you had for dinner last night, who visted your home previous evening, orientation to place and time also involves this system- all structures in Papez circuit are involved in this-main one being hippocampus. These memories have a "time tag". Like on dec 25th we celeberated Christmas in my friend's house..etc 2. Semantic: knowing things- like how a TV works, what are the duties of a doctor, it has to do with all we have learnt which have lost the time tags- we dont remember when we learnt the duties of the doc...right... Substrate: LAteral temporal lobe Non Declarative Memory: Driving, guessing, etc: Substarte: Cerebellum and Basal ganglia. Good Luck
