Three targets of our research; Amygdala, Hippocampus and Cerebellum

Memories are classified by a variety of ways, the retention time (Long-term memory VS Short-term memory), the behaviors influenced by memory (Declarative memory VS Non-declarative memory), and so on. Amygdala, Hippocampus, and Cerebellum have distinctive role in the memory. For roles of each part of the brain, please look at following pages;

Amygdala - You are afraid of a snake? Amygdala is on the move.

Hippocampus - You remember where to put your tooth brush back? Hippo is working for you.

Cerebellum - We move, the cerebellum moves.
