Declarative Memory Solutions

For TLDR, skip to underlined text.

 

Hi, how common are declarative memory problems? I have a problem I'd like to solve. If I watch two football games in a row, I find myself unable to remember the opposing team name from the first one, and I might not remember any specific from the one I watched the day before, but I might have some inklings of what happened and how close they were. If I think about it long enough though, I start teasing things out about what happenend, but its still very limited.

 

While my on demand declarative memory in the moment has been shot since early - no poem memorizing or reciting for me - ideas and facts slowly work themselves in if I am exposed to them enough. Naturally, this has posed quite a problem for me when reading pubmed papers, etc. but it has made me extreemly resiliant to advertising. So yeah, its a real impediment and mental boundary that I've been trying to ease.

 

Anyway, I was on here earlier for the whole LTP thing a while back with forskolin and artichoke extract and the whole

AMPkines. Have there have been any developments in this area recently? Are there any new drugs for declarative memory encoding and/or recall?

 

I swear I saw some antidepressant drugs in phase II that target the hippocampus specifically as a way to alleviate negative depression, but I am unable to find the papers. I havent found anything to be too usefull for decarative memory. I'm currently experimenting with a tientapine, sunifram stack, but I cant really reccomend either.

 

I'm kind of looking for drugs that may tangetially help memory retention if not help declarative memory outright

For example, this paper says rho-kinase inhibitors may help nuronal survival so if you extrapolate a bit, you might conclude that Faudasil might help

In my opinion this is perfectly natural. The brain tries to do as little work as possible, and so if you are doing something in a passive way, you are less likely to remember it. I like to watch sport and keep up with the betting and simultaneous games, and so I have quite an active interaction with sports viewing usually, so I remember all the details. But if I am very tired and just want to lean back and let a game wash over me, I cannot remember much about it later. I think this is because I go into autopilot mode, where the brain is relaxed and does not have to do any new thinking.
