CAFFEINE- LONG TERM MEMORY

Many people say they cannot start their day without first having a cup of coffee or tea.

People say these drinks help them think clearly and feel awake.

This is because of caffeine, a subtance found in some plants.

Caffeine helps to give a jump start to the nervous system.

Now, a report says it may also improve long-term memories.

The report was published in the journal Nature Neuroscience.

Mike Yassa wanted to know if caffeine could improve memory consolidation.
