Memory, Attention and Summing Up

In this final lesson, we take a look at how short term memories and episodic are thought to be stored in the brain, and then conclude by "zooming out" to get an overview of what we have learned in this course, how it all fits together, and how mechanisms of attention may help unify all the diverse systems of the brain into a single mind.
