The hippocampus, located in the temporal lobe, is involved in encoding new explicit memories (such as personal experiences and facts) and transferring them to long-term memory. It is also important for spatial recognition and navigation. The prefrontal cortex is involved in working memory and decision making, but not specifically in encoding or transferring new memories. The amygdala is involved in emotional memory formation and the cerebellum is important for motor coordination and learning, but neither are primarily involved in explicit memory encoding and transfer.
