form neural networks. Over the years scientists have studied animals to see what parts of the brain are related to memory. Usually rats are taught to run a maze and then a technique of lesioning is used (cutting off parts of brains) to see if the memory has remained. This obviously can't be done on humans, but researchers can use people already with brain damage as case studies. Clive Wearing was an accomplished musician, but when Herpes, a virus that usually causes only cold sores, attacked his brain his life changed forever. MRI scanning of his brain shows damage to the hippocampus and some of the frontal regions. His episodic memory (experience) and some of his semantic memory (facts) are lost. He cannot transfer new information into LTM either. He can still play the piano and conduct the music that he knew. These skills area a part of implicit memory, that is linked to a brain structure other than hippocampus. His emotional memory is also intact
