Input

From senses, thinking, or a memory

Information goes to the Thalamus which acts as the switchboard of the brain by processing information coming in and sending it to the appropriate place

Information then goes to the Frontal lobe where new information is held in short term memory for 5-2o seconds. The new information is not stored but if it is important it gets sent to the Hippocampus

The Hippocampus is where the new inforamation gets organized and indexed and sent out to the cortex for storage

The Cortex is where storage of the new information happens. This could take hours, days, or even weeks and then sent to the appropriate lobe

The Temporal Lobe

This is where language, explicit memory, words, and pictures are stored

The Occipital Lobe

This is where visual information, pictures, and movies are stored

The Parietal Lobe

This is where sensory, motor, and spatial inforamtion is stored

The Cerebellum

This is where movement, balance, and ordering are stored

The Frontal Lobe

This is where judgement, planning, working memory, and decisions are stotred
