Abstract in brief

Since the 1950s, studies starting with patient HM have revealed important principles about how human memory is organized, leading to extensive research and new insights.
Research has focused on the neuroanatomy of key brain structures like the medial temporal lobe and diencephalon that are crucial for different memory processes such as immediate memory, consolidation, and long-term storage.
The review discusses concepts like multiple memory systems, the roles of recollection and familiarity, and how different medial temporal lobe structures may have distinct functions in memory.]
