(Canadian Association for Neuroscience) Research from Katherine Duncan at the University of Toronto suggests we may have to rethink how we improve memory. She has found our brains have particular states known as formation and recall. Optimal formation is best achieved when accompanied by novelty whereas familiarity leads to a recall state, hindering the goal. Duncan hopes these findings will one day help us to improve our memories and possibly offer insight into why diseases involving memory loss happen.
