The Architecture of the Human Mind diagram is arranged in a way that corresponds to the Atkinson and Shiffrin’s well-known and long utilized three-stage information processing model of memory.

The human memory system is seated in the medial temporal lobe (MTL). Broadly, it contains the hippocampus, parahippocampal cortex, perirhinal cortex, and entorhinal cortex.

Researchers have mapped the more than 500,000 connections in the intricate brain of a fruit fly larva. This map, they say, could help scientists figure out how learning changes the human brain, too.

Information on human postmortem tissue samples Three blocks (each approximately 1 cm3) of postmortem tissue were acquired from the Normal Ageing Brain Collection Amsterdam (NABCA) biobank (Project ...
