Specific regions of the human brain are responsible for storing different types of memories
Extensive neuroscientific research confirms that different forms and types of memory rely on distinct, specialized regions of the human brain.
The claim is specific and falsifiable, passing Step 0. The retrieved literature consistently supports the idea that various memory types and systems depend on distinct anatomical structures and neural substrates within the brain.

This foundational paper reviews evidence that explicit and implicit memory depend on separate, distinct brain systems.

This study demonstrates that working memory sub-processes rely on specific neural substrates including the prefrontal cortex, basal ganglia, and thalamus.
