Memory

Are different parts of the brain involved in different types of memory?

It appears that this is true. Short-term memory, working memory, and long-term memory all differ somewhat from each other, although there is some debate and perhaps some overlap. Different types of memory do appear to involve different parts of the brain. Each type appears to engage different neural subsystems within the prefrontal cortex, the parietal lobes, the hippocampus, and the synapses or spaces between the neurons. Exposure to chronic stress can lead to profound memory deficits along with atrophy of the dendrites that fan out around the cell body and that pull information into the cells.
