Resumo: Psychoanalysis considers the body as an archive of biographical narratives, while neuroscience views the brain as a complex system that shapes our emotions and behaviors. Both approaches explore the concept of memory. For neuroscience, memory is categorized into implicit and explicit, with subdivisions within each category. In the psychoanalytic approach, memory plays a fundamental role in the assimilation of past perceptions and experiences, shaping the individual’s personality. Objective: to analyze the theoretical-methodological intersections between psychoanalysis and neuroscience on memory. Method: Qualitative, deductive research, illustrated through fragments from multiple clinical cases. Case Sample: Characterized by a broad and varied sample of clinical memory fragments from cases attended by the researcher over the past five years. Selection Criteria: Clinical fragments were selected based on the researcher’s own memory, considering patients aged 18 to 50 years, regardless of gender, exemplifying the concept of memory at the interface between psychoanalysis and neuroscience. Procedure: Step 1: Theoretical-methodological categories on the concept of memory in neuroscience and psychoanalysis were created based on the results of the literature review. Step 2: Through access to the memory records of the researcher’s clinical consultations, a research diary was prepared, containing clinical fragments relevant to the study objective. Step 3: The categories defined in Step 1 were correlated with the relevant clinical fragments. The analysis of results was conducted by comparing clinical fragments within and across the previously established categories. Results: Convergent content involves the articulation of the concepts of consciousness, explicit memory, the unconscious, implicit memory, mnemonic traces, and synaptic plasticity. Divergent content, on the other hand, arises in relation to the concepts of extinction, repression, long-term memory, and the preconscious. Specific content is evidenced by the concepts of transference, working memory, and memory retrieval and storage processes. Conclusion: The theoretical-methodological articulation on memory suggests a certain complementarity between the two fields of knowledge, as convergent content was found to prevail both quantitatively and qualitatively. Thus, relevant content for clinical practice in the health field was observed, promoting an understanding of memory from psychoanalytic and neuroscientific perspectives
