Localization of spatial memory in the human memory system. Declarative and non-declarative memory are the two main types of human memory; declarative memory is dependent on the medial temporal lobe and hippocampus and its retrieval requires conscious attention, whilst non-declarative memory is related with amygdala, cerebellum, striatum and reflex pathways and can be retrieved effortlessly (does not require conscious attention). Spatial memory is a type of declarative memory that has been extensively studied in rodents and is dependent on hippocampus in both humans and rodents. Short-term memories are consolidated into long-term memories by repetition (based on [198, 200])
