Paper Abstract: Study of the neural basis of memory. Discusses research and data obtained from studying patients with various degrees of amnesia following brain damage. Theories regarding mechanisms by which memories are stores and retrieved. Current theories that different content-based memory systems exist in different areas of the brain. Memory retrieval. Paper Introduction: I. Abstract Memory is fundamental to human life, and though its mechanisms have come under intense scrutiny over the last half century, much still remains a mystery.

This paper looks at some of the research and the data obtained from studying patients with various degrees of amnesia following brain damage to try and elucidate the mechanisms by which memories are stored and retrieved, and which Text of the Paper: The entire text of the paper is shown below.
