Episode notes
INSIGHT

  • Memory is multidimensional, stored across brain and body and shaped by developmental and social context.
  • Trauma creates patterned present-moment reactions because past memories prime threat filters and prediction systems.

Hippocampus Is A Temporary Transfer Hub

  • The hippocampus temporarily holds explicit memories then transfers them to cortex during rest and sleep.
  • Memory consolidation relies on sleep and intact hippocampal-prefrontal interactions for long-term storage.

Trauma Favors Implicit, Somatic Traces

  • Traumatic memory skews toward implicit, somatic fragments rather than coherent narrative.
  • High cortisol impairs hippocampal consolidation while amygdala-driven arousal strengthens embodied, implicit traces.
