what part of the brain is involved in encoding words or pictures
Encoding (memory) Encoding is a biological event that begins with perception. All perceived and striking sensations travel to the brain's thalamus where all these sensations are combined into one single experience.[11] The hippocampus is responsible for analyzing these inputs and ultimately deciding if they will be committed to long-term memory; these various threads of information are stored in various parts of the brain. However, the exact way in which these pieces are identified and recalled later remains unknown.[11]
Visual cortex The visual cortex of the brain is a part of the cerebral cortex that processes visual information. It is located in the occipital lobe.Visual nerves run straight from the eye to the primary visual cortex to the Visual Associtaion cortex.
