Where are memories stored?

Not all memories are stored in one place. However, different parts of the brain are specialized for storing different types of memories. For example, semantic memories (e.g. general knowledge, such as 2 + 2 = 4) and episodic memories (e.g. personal memories of an event, such as your wedding day) are stored in the frontal and temporal lobes of the cortex. Procedural memories (e.g. skills and habits, such as how to drive a car) are located in the cerebellum (an area needed for balance and motor coordination).
