Summary Introduction

Introduction

Various experiments have been conducted to understand where the long-term memory (LTM) and short-term memory (STM) are located in the human brain. Neuropsychological studies dating back to early 1950s provide evidence for the separate mechanisms involved in STM and LTM. Case studies of two patients, known as patient HM and KF, were instrumental in providing evidence for the separation of STM and LTM.
