ABSTRACT

Learning and memory are neurobiological processes close related and necessary to have consciousness. The present review focuses on the neuroanatomy structures close related with the function of learning and memory. The interaction between different neuroanatomical structures and their repeated neurophysiological activity is integrated as an exclusive neural networks. In the cortex, these neural networks are different forms of learning and memory, which activity induced plastic changes in synaptic functions that lead to the strengthening of the synaptic connections with the result of reconstructed permanent traces that evoke memories. For instance a specific damage in hippocampus is manifested by recent memory disturbances or by the incapacity to acquire new knowledge. Other brain cortical or neocortical specific lesions, induces alterations particularly related with that cerebral region and to the integrative function level. This is, learning and memory are not confined to a single place in the brain. During the course of our lives we learn a lot of things. Nevertheless, learning and memory could be affected at any time. Further basic research is needed in order to get a better understanding about the physiology and anatomical structures involved in memory and learning.
