The information is stored within the links between neurons. Each link has a weight that can be adjusted upon exposure to a new subject. The process of memorizing is nothing but adjusting the weight of links.

Oh yes, and we memorize things by repeating them.

There is an art to memorizing one can memorize by repetition/rote, this is a hard-won battle to an end. It is much easier to create a storyline linking the items to be remembered through associations, making the items sometimes exaggerated or fantastic to standout in memory. There may be other means I am not familiar with, but memorizing through the use of associations is most useful.

That's a scientific question.
There are thousands of academic papers (4413 is the number we get from a popular online data base) explaining how different types of memory are stored in a biological brain.
