Review of the history and case studies revealing the nature of memory in the brain, with a focus on Lashley's search for the engram, Hebbian learning and the key role patient HM played in our understanding of the role of the hippocampus and medial temporal lobe structures in memory formation. I thoroughly review how temporally graded amnesia supports a consolidation view of memory and review current models of explicit and implicit memory circuits.
