The memory of events such as your 10th birthday party or your first water polo game would primarily be stored in the hippocampus. The hippocampus is crucial for the formation and retrieval of explicit memories, which include personal experiences and specific events. Other brain regions, such as the amygdala and prefrontal cortex, also play roles in processing emotions associated with those memories and in organizing and planning, but the hippocampus is key for the storage of episodic memories.
