The Dynamics of Cognition and Shifting connections
the medial temporal lobe is involved in memory storage
⇒ Siehe Temporal lobe
In the morning, most MTL activity is localized within that structure, but in the evening, connections carry signals out to other areas of the brain.
(p.166)
This could be due to the experiences gained during the day. This causes more connections within the brain.
At night memory consolidation kicks in and in the morning the MTL sends signals only within itself. The process begins again.
