“The Learning Brain” S:1 E:6 The Neural Basis of Explicit Learning

S:1 E:6 The Neural Basis of Explicit Learning Take a fantastic voyage into your brain to uncover the physical mechanisms involved in forming explicit memories. The voyage begins in the hippocampus, the seahorse-shaped structure in each temporal lobe, where explicit learning begins. It continues out to the cerebral cortex – the grey matter on the outside of the brain – where memories become consolidated and integrated with other memories.
