Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Brain scans and evoked potential studies have identified the hippocampal formation, including the hippocampus and the parahippocampal gyrus, as involved in consolidation. The amygdala is also involved in emotional aspects of memory but is not necessarily specific to consolidation. The cingulate cortex is involved in attention and emotional processing but not directly in consolidation. The anterior hippocampal gyrus does not have as strong a role in consolidation as the hippocampus and parahippocampal gyrus.
