How do you think the brain "stores" our personal memories? 🧠

This is a question for everyone out there, especially for non-neuroscientists and regardless of education level or familiarity with biology.

I'd just like to hear all your ideas and theories, however crazy they may sound. Be as specific or vague as you like. Please do not look at the answers before giving yours so you are not influenced.
More specifically:

What do you think happens (in the brain) at the time of experiencing something that we will end up remembering?

What do you think happens (in the brain) when, later, we remember that thing?

Boosts welcome but answers even more welcome!

Some birds may have the human ability to reimagine memories, new study - fullSTEAMahead365

A new research article, "Eurasian jays (Garrulus glandarius) show episodic-like memory through the incidental encoding of information," indicates that some birds may be able to use "mental time travel," a capability thought to be unique to humans.

Dear 🧠 Hive Mind,

what do you consider currently the most convincing or most effective experimental paradigm to probe episodic memory?

@mariam so which way do you think the causality goes? 1. Anyone’s effort to encode #contextmemory or episodes for #episodicmemory aids trivia knowledge, or 2. people with special ability to retain contextual/episodic details can use those abilities to benefit trivia recall? The above statement suggests 2. But I’m hoping for 1. , for the rest of us mere mortals.

Elderly people can improve episodic memory via neurostimulation of the cerebellum, shows study

A recent study demonstrated that non-invasive stimulation of the right cerebellum led to improvements in episodic memory performance in healthy elderly individuals, at the end of a 12-day neurostimulation program, and also at the point of a 4-month follow-up.
