Memory Storage in Brain, Not Organs

  • Memories are stored throughout the brain, starting in the hippocampus and migrating to cortical layers.
  • Organs like the heart do not store memories, but the nervous system's wiring influences behaviors linked to memories.

  • Exercise increases gray and white matter in the brain, enhancing cognitive function through myokine release.
  • Different exercises like aerobic and weight training stimulate beneficial brain proteins in distinct ways.
