In this article, we examine both. Specifically, we identify cognitive processes other than encoding and retrieval that are thought to be involved in memory; we then examine the consequences of damage to brain regi...

Aristotle referred to the brain, and Herophilus described hydrocephaly and the ventricles of the ...
