Areas responsible for encoding storage and retrieval of declarative information

Which areas are responsible for encoding, storage, and retrieval of declarative information? 

The hippocampal system is concerned with encoding and consolidating information. 

Long-term storage generally occurs in the temporoparietal cortices. The left hemisphere stores primarily verbal or general knowledge (i.e., semantic/lexical information), and the right stores nonverbal and autobiographical information. 

Retrieval uses prefrontal and distributed temporoparietal networks; the role of the hippocampal system in retrieval is time limited.
