Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cortex is responsible for long-term storage of memories that are initially processed in the hippocampus. The basal ganglia plays a role in motor learning and the cerebellum is involved in motor coordination, neither of which are directly related to memory storage. The amygdala is involved in emotional processing and memory consolidation, but is not the primary site for long-term storage.
