14.  Medial temporal lobe (hippocampus): Necessary for forming long-term memories (new declarative memories) Does not store old declarative memories Does not store nondeclarative memories

16.  No!!

24. 1. What are the two types of memory? Declarative & nondeclarative 2. Are all memories stored in a single brain region? No 3. What happens at the level of the neuron when memories form? The strength of synaptic connections between neurons increases.
