memory storage
Where information lives
Memory storage is the retention of information for later retrieval—whether in the brain, a computer, or physical media.
In computing, it refers to devices that hold data: hard drives, flash memory, cloud storage.
Human memory storage involves encoding experiences and knowledge in neural pathways.
The phone ran out of memory storage.
Scientists study how memory storage works in the hippocampus.
