Caffeine significantly improves a person's memory, making it less forgetful and improves long-term memory consolidation during the day after he drank one or more cups of coffee. Neuroscientists say about this in an article published in the journal Nature Neuroscience. "We always knew that caffeine improves brain function, but no one tried to find out how it works in our memory and mental abilities, and whether he affects the ability to remember the information. The first time we were able to establish that caffeine reduces our forgetfulness over 24 hours "- said Michael Yassa of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore (USA). Yassa and his colleagues uncovered the positive effect of caffeine on human memory for example volunteers, tasks for memory. This experiment was conducted in two stages - first, the participants considered a set of pictures for a few minutes, after which the researchers asked them to eat real or dummy pill with caffeine. A day later, researche...

Another interesting finding of the study was that the emulsifier polysorbate 60 and 80 increased the penetra...
