Researchers observed that if neuropeptide S receptors in the brain were activated immediately after a learning experience, it could be recalled for much longer and with much greater accuracy. The discovery could provide important clues about how the brain stores memories and also lead to new treatments for Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and other cognitive impairments.
