The brain temporarily stores new explicit memories like names, images, and events in the hippocampus, but then migrates them for longer-term storage elsewhere. Damage to the hippocampus causes anterograde amnesia where one cannot form new explicit memories of events after the damage, but can still recall events before. The cerebellum forms and stores implicit memories, like conditioned reflexes, and damage impairs developing new reflexes.

THE BRAIN – PARTS OF
The Brain and Memory The brain registers and temporarily stores the elements of a remembered episode – its smell, feel, sound and location but then memories migrate for storage else where.
Hippocampus Neural Center in the Limbic System Processes new explicit memories of names, images and events. Explicit memories are processed in hippocampus but stored elsewhere. Antegrade Amnesia: caused by removal of hippocampus. Forget present events but remember everything before the hippocampus was removed. Implicit memory can be done but not explicit. Damages in the left = trouble remembering verbal information. Damages in the right = trouble remembering visual information. The longer the hippocampus and its pathways to the cortex are left intact after training the smaller the memory defecit.
Cerebellum Where implicit memory is formed and stored. If damages, not able to develop certain condition reflexes. Explicit-Implicit memory system explain infantile amnesia, the skills and reactions we learned while infants which we don’t recall later on as adults.
