Ok so this article isn't new (06/12/04), but it's likely of interest to many individuals here (particularly new members). The article mentions a few potential memory enhancing substances.

there are numerous peptides that improve cognition theres one that makes memorizing 20 digit numbers rather than 7 digit numbers norm

Im thinking that adding peptides to the gellant they use to make nstant pudding, then placing peptide pudding up nose or around mouth might do beneficial things with the duration of peptide activity

kwik n thik is online Ive ordered a bunch to make pudding with then thought about peptide administration

it might be thik n kwik

I am (skeptical of this)^3

Would you mind posting any sort of evidence with regard to the statement " there are numerous peptides that improve cognition theres one that makes memorizing 20 digit numbers rather than 7 digit numbers norm"? thanks

Thanks for that study about cyclic AMP and memory. And thanks to pubmed for access to studies such as the one below I just researched... I'm now thinking about adding AOR's Acti-Cyclase product that is standardized for 10% Forskolin to my nootropic list that now includes Ortho Mind and fish oil.

Delayed memory dysfunction by transient hypoxia, and its prevention with forskolin.

Ando S, Kametani H, Osada H, Iwamoto M, Kimura N.

Rats exposed to 40 min hypoxia 3 h before a one-trial learning passive avoidance task showed impaired memory retention 24 h later. this model was used to assess the ability of forskolin to restore the delayed memory dysfunction. Significant amelioration of memory retention was observed when forskolin (500 micrograms/kg, i.p.) was injected just after hypoxia. Forskolin is suggested to enhance cerebral blood flow and to facilitate memory function through the action of increased cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP).

They recently discontinued it.

LifeMirage, what is your opinion about rolipram as a possible memory pill?

While interesting they need to do more animal and human testing before even I would take it.

A search for "phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitor" on PubMed brings 8 results, most of them animal studies where they intentionally induce memory and leaning impairment and then gauge the response to PDE-4 inhibitors.

The difference here though is that Rolipram has been approved for use in humans as a treatment for depression, so it has met some safety standards. I would think these individuals on the drug would have some subjective awareness of improvement in their memory, if it indeed does encourage the formation of long term memories in unimpaired humans.

The way it can effect memory it not very potent, I would recommend other compounds that have published studies for memory purposes.
