Where our memories are stored

MMadrid

Memories are a funny thing

It holds our lives In moments from the past

Who we are

Where we've been

What we do and what we like

Pretty important if you ask me

So I'm writing this

To know where these things are stored

In our brain 

Let's start briefly with the Neocortex

The states and song lyrics

All general knowledge is here

 

 

Now let's move on to the next

The prefrontal cortex Is where memories come and go

A brief passing of what somebody said

No need to stay forever in our head

 

Now the Amydala

This is a heavy one

Ofcoarse not literally We may become unbalanced but

More on the feelings aspect

These are the emotional ones

That make it hard to forget

And on to the Basal ganglia

This is our unconscious

You know how you can move You eyes from left to right

Or the way we learn

 

We're almost to the end

We're at the Hippocampus

Where our events and facts Stay

You know like your graduation party

Or where you were born

 

We have arrived to the last On the list

Cerebellum

This is our motor control

How we button up our shirt Or use our phone

This was it

And remember Dont damage your brain

Or you won't be the same

    Your insightful poem has bounced around my amygdala and I'm pretty sure my hippocampus is now preparing to turn it into a pleasant memory.
