Cryogenics and the human brain

How does the brain store memories? If sometime in the future they can revive cryogenic bodies as suggested in the attached article, would they revive a body that has a blank memory and would that body have to learn just like a new born? Or would it be just like waking from a deep sleep?
Surly our memories are what make us, us so what would be the point of reviving a cryogenic body if our essence memories have decayed.
It would seem from searching on the web that we still don’t know or agree on how long term memories are stored in the human brain so answering these questions would be difficult.
