Does "with" mean "and (the different circuits) have memories (accessed and integrated as needed)"?

Context:

This study in rats supports the idea that the mammalian brain features several memory types, each using different circuits, with memories accessed and integrated as needed. Ancient memory types include those that remind us what to fear, what to seek out (reward), how to move (motor memory) and navigate (place memory). More recent developments enable us to remember the year Columbus sailed and our wedding day.

Generally, a descriptive clause ("with . . . . .)
modifies the nearest noun, in this case "circuits."

However, it could describe "memory types."

The preceding paragraph could give you a clue.
