Abstract
Memory is a multifaceted product of numerous anatomically distinct systems within the mammalian brain. Advances in experimental techniques over the last century have enabled neuropsychologists to assess the biological underpinnings of and interactions between the brain's memory systems. This article describes key brain structures underlying these multiple memory systems. These include the hippocampus, dorsal striatum, and amygdala, and their roles in declarative, procedural, and stimulus-affect memory, respectively. Competitive interactions between memory systems are briefly described, as well as the role of multiple memory systems in various psychopathologies.
