Sweet Memories: Dark Chocolate Enhances Memory Formation

Sweet Memories: Dark Chocolate Enhances Memory Formation Canadian scientists found that epicatechin, a chemical in cocoa, can improve memory when applied immediately after a learning task Those with a sweet tooth may be excited to know that dark chocolate can potentially improve our memory, due to a flavanol in cocoa, known as epicatechin (epi). Researchers at the Hotchkiss Brain Institute Cumming School of Medicine at the University of Calgary in Canada, have discovered that epicatechin (epi) is most effective in boosting memory formation when immediately applied after a learning exercise. Previous research on snails has shown that epicatechin can reverse memory loss. In humans, it can reduce cognitive impairment, and improve cognitive performance in the elderly. In the experiment, learning and memory are treated as two different, but closely related processes. Learning is when there is a change in behaviour because of the learning exercise, and memory is the abi...

So, I decided to write a little historical piece about a fighter pilot, as they experience hypoxia at high altitudes, G-forces, and the Coriolis effect. You can play it here: Fighter Pilot LS-4215 I realised that I could've added in a separate story where you could be a naval diver instead, or beefed up the body's response to trauma, but I'm happy with how it is for now. If there's interest maybe, I'll look into it!
