Temple researchers found that a tiny surge of power stimulates certain neurons in the brain, improving recall memory by 11 percent. The study could offer solutions to those who suffer the embarrassing situation of forgetting a person's name. "We know a lot about how to make people's memory worse, but we don’t know very much about how to make people's memory better," said Ingrid Olson, the Temple psychologist who led the study. "These findings hold promise because they point to possible therapeutic treatments for memory rehabilitation following a stroke or other neurological insult."
