This an excellent explanation of the development of neuroscience as it relates to memory in the human brain. The author does a good job of explaining the various concepts and mechanisms for the layman; you don't have to have a degree in Biology or Chemistry to understand the subject related here. A good introduction to the vast field of Cognitive Science in general. Recommended.
