Where is short-term memory stored in the brain

---

The ability to “hold information in mind” – to think about it – in the absence of steady input from the outside world, is central to our conscious experience.

It also gives rise to working memory, the ability to flexibly use this information to guide behavior, often after it has been juggled or otherwise transformed. Working memory is critical for many domains of cognition, including planning, problem solving, and language production and comprehension.

How are memories stored and retrieved

Working memory performance is also an important factor underlying individual differences across a broad spectrum of experimental and “real world” measures of human performance, and its dysfunction is characteristic of many psychiatric and neurological diseases.

For all these reasons, understanding the neural bases of the short-term retention (STR) of information (a.k.a. “working memory storage”) has been a priority for decades.

A point of emphasis for this review will be the importance of distinguishing between the STR of information, a phenomenon that is, in principle, measurable
