Accepted Answer

Hello everyone here's the next question. Which part of the brain is involved in the formation of long term memory? Well the part of the brain that is involved in learning and memory particularly long term and spatial memory is the hippocampus which is choice to be here. We can think of that as that higher learning center. But let's just look onto our other two answer choices to see why they are not the correct answer. So we have choice a cerebellum and the cerebellum is involved in this really basic um muscle control including balance and movement. So that's not our correct answer though not involved in long term memory. Then we've got choice see the pituitary gland and that's part of the neuro endocrine system. It produces hormones which cause it to regulate growth metabolism and reproduction. And then finally here we have the corpus eliminate choice seat judiciary gland does not involved in the formation of long term memory. Our final choices choice D. The corpus colosseum. And it's actually a bundle of nerve fibers and those fibers actually connect the two hemispheres of the brain and that allows them to communicate with each other and send signals to each other but not part of the formation of long term memory. So not our answer choice. So which part of the brain is involved in the formation of long term memory? And that's choice B. Choice be the hippocampus. See you in the next video
