The hippocampus is associated with the formation and storage of conscious memories, particularly episodic memories. The amygdala is involved in emotional processing and the formation of emotional memories, but not conscious memories. The hypothalamus regulates bodily functions such as hunger and thirst, and the thalamus is involved in sensory processing but neither is primarily associated with conscious memory.
