What Was I to Remember Again?

Dr. Daniel Schacter…  Professor and Chair of Psychology at Harvard memory-2.jpg University , and the author of Searching for Memory: The Mind, The Brain, and the Past says the key to memory that lasts is to enhance a receptor in your brain… called the NMDA receptor…. It seems that  NMDA creates cell communication and memory storage. So why don’t we use more of the drugs they now have to enhance NMDA…? Good question… and there is an answer....

NMDA receptors are actually blocked in treatments used for strokes…. Conversely… enhancing the receptors could lead to stoke problems…. Ok… you get the picture on that one….

In his book… Dr. Schacter shows research and cutting edge techniques that decide if new information will be remembered or forgotten. One new study…for instance… used depth electrodes to see brain regions activated when a person studied words or images…. They noted activity in the medial temporal lobe and discovered the sequence of events that indicated a word or image would stick.

So when are better things to come to help us remember? Apparently we can look forward to molecular memory… the molecules involved in transferring memories from short term to long term ... and these molecules offer encouraging clues to suggest that drugs may well be available in the next 10 years.... These drugs are expected to combat age related memory loss…. Don’t forget to check back in on this exciting news in the meantime… In fact…. If you bookmark the daily tips for your brain at Brain Based Business… you won’t have to remember to check back after all….
