Episodic Memory is the is the memory of unique personal experiences. This along with Semantic memory make up declarative memory.

 

For episodic memory to be stored the medial temporal lobe must be in function, this lobe also includes the hippocampus. Without the medial frontal lobe episodic memory can't be stored, presenting amnesia in some cases or memory loss.

 

There is to debate as to where episodic memory is stored, some think it is the hippocampus where others think it it stays in the hippocampus for w while then moves to the neocortex to be consolidated.
