        It is only working on my short term memories. That time I did that thing when I was 11 is still there and I’m not entirely sure why I was recently banned from that Walmart.

        That one, sadly, works not just on links between the neurons, but on the neurons themselves

    The research suggests that PKMzeta [a protein that’s part of memory creation] works alongside another molecule, called KIBRA (kidney and brain expressed adaptor protein), which attaches to synapses activated during learning, effectively “tagging” them. KIBRA couples with PKMzeta, which then keeps the tagged synapses strengthened.

    Intriguiging. I wonder how this is related to short-term/working memory?

    It also appears KIBRA dysfunction is closely related to Alzheimers.

      Questionably: psychedelics can somewhat act in that way, in that it can work to adjust the impact of the memories.
