The ability to learn and to remember increases the adaptability of organisms. The article contains a brief survey of different types of learning and memory and of brain areas of particular importance for these functions. The lessons learnt from patient HM and a personal account of his appearance are given. Finally selected cellular and molecular models for learning and memory in lower and higher animals are briefly reviewed.
