Episode notes
Working memory and long-term memory are two separate memory systems controlled by different parts of the brain. Working memory is short-lived and requires constant rehearsal, while long-term memory is information that gets consolidated into a more durable form. The frontal cortex plays a crucial role in working memory, keeping neurons active and relevant information in mind. The frontal lobes are responsible for keeping information in the back of the brain active by connecting to visual areas. The entire brain acts as a buffer for information, with the frontal lobes able to call up any part of the brain to keep information active. Dopamine's role in working memory remains a question to explore.
