Who wants to volunteer for the first study?

Sure, just sign here, where it says "I, the undersigned, am ok with possibly losing my brain in the course of the experiment."

I also have to assume this has only been through animal studies and not human. The similarity between memory function in humans and most other mammals is only on tenuous at best as there are significant structural differences (primarily in neuron density) between our brains.

It is easy to imagine that a chemical that plays a very strong role in retention in less dense neuron structures plays a less important role in the dense human brain.

But the implications are very, very interesting.
