Exam 2: Memory and the Brain

Memory can be enhanced, however, to date, no drug has been shown to improve memory efficiency in normal adults.On the other hand, there is no doubt that some drugs prevent the formation of new memories.The only prescription drugs available to improve memory are chloinergics.
