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.
