Prosthetic Memory

Guest: Robert Hampson, PhD, Professor of Physiology/Pharmacology and Neurology, Wake Forest University School of Medicine When you hit middle age, you start to fear those “senior moments” when you forget things more frequently. People turn to memory-boosting pills like gingko or fish oil. But the future of memory enhancement could be more high-tech, if the results of a small study out of Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center are any indication. Scientists there have been able to boost memory with brain implants.
