Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The anatomical model of implicit memory proposed in the passage suggests a central role for the basal ganglia, a group of nuclei located deep within the cerebral hemispheres. This is supported by studies showing that damage to the basal ganglia can impair implicit memory processes. The other brain regions listed (premotor cortex, ventral thalamus, substantia nigra) are not specifically implicated in the model of implicit memory presented in the passage.
