A new study in Nature Neuroscience has discovered that consuming caffeine after attempting to memorize something will allow more to be memorized per session. The experiment took not regular caffeine consumers and had them memorize a series of pictures, afterwards giving them a caffeine pill. The next day they were asked to remember these pictures in detail, and the group that had been given the caffeine did considerably better than those that had not been given the pill. The key factor of this test was that the caffeine was administered after the period of memorization instead of before, which can cause anxiety and lack of focus. Scientists must delve deeper into the uses of this caffeine on the memory that can be held, which may lead to advancements against Alzheimer's disease and other memory loss.
