Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The frontal cortex and the medial temporal lobes work together to consolidate memories, including memories of events such as a concert. The frontal cortex is involved in attention and encoding of new information, while the medial temporal lobes (including the hippocampus) are involved in forming and storing new memories. Together, they help to create a stronger memory of the concert experience.
