We have a pretty good idea of where memory starts and ends—short-term memories form in the hippocampus and, if the situation calls for it, stabilize into long-term memories in the cortex.30 Mar 2023 By Rockfeller

   @youronlyone I can pull up my old psych notes 😂

   Based on what I've noted down, the hippocampus deals with all things explicit memory, but I think it is more related to the handling of long term memory, as short term memory is handled elsewhere I believe.

   I didn't do great in psychology so don't take my word for it though 😂

   A quick Google search does agree with what you've said, however it also agrees in saying that the hippocampus helps consolidate it into long term memory.
