I think fish oil is supposed to help your memory.  I took my boards a week ago and drank fish oil before the test; and I think I did well.

Protein, Carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins, water. Yes carbohydrates for body and brain, but "whole" carbs like whole grain, brown rice, brown sugar. If fact it's about time commercial food like ice cream and baking used all this. They don't add weight because the vitamins enable metabolism. That's the best I can contribute.

Exercise your mind by learning new things, stay active, eat food rich in anti-oxidants, and spend time with your close friends.  All these things have been proven by research to slow memory loss and lead to a happier life.

The brain is like a muscle. If you don’t use it, it will atrophy. “Use it or lose it” The most important first step is to maintain overall good health.smoking, and high cholesterol, threaten brain blood vessels as well. Ensure  that you get adequate vitamins and minerals to preserve overall brain function. This means a diet low enough in calories to maintain your ideal body weight, which includes low fat (<60 gm. per day, <20 gm. saturated fat), 2-4 servings of fruit, 3-5 servings of vegetables, 6 servings of bread or grain, and 3 servings of dairy per day, fish twice a week, and red meat limited to once a week. \n“Brain push-ups” like crossword puzzles and other mental challenges are excellent. Entirely new activities are particularly stimulating, like taking up a new musical instrument, engaging in an art activity you’ve never tried before, or learning a new language. Albert Einstein took up the violin late in life, and Winston Churchill took up painting. So, go ahead, be adventurous! Do something you’ve always wanted to do but have never taken the time for. You have nothing to lose, and only pleasure, increased social interactions, a renewed sense of achievement, and better brain function to gain.Smoking contributes to blood vessel damage in the brain,this indirectly affects ur memory .

#1.Tho' scientists don't know why, gingko biloba supplement does seem to help, it was observable in Alzheimer's patients. \n#2. Solving puzzles like crosswords and anagrams daily keeps the brain active and stimulated, an important part of the memory remaining functional.\n#3. Tests have shown that a moderate amount of exercise, like walking, daily has a very beneficial effect on memory.\n#4. Use your brain and your memory actively, as much as you can on a daily basis. This really is a case of use it or lose it.\n\nFinally #5. Try to avoid damaging your hippocampus, the part of your brain where memories are mostly made

Females:\n\nA memory is something that is engraved in the mind of a person that they can recall over a period of time. The more an image appears the longer a person’s memory of it will last. Remembering things from the past also allows one to learn and remember new things. A few things that may cause the loss of memory are injury, disease, or old age.\nMemories are created by many patterns of neuronal connections. An experiment was performed on rats in a lab. The female rats had weaker memories due to fewer nerve connections. When given hormones however, the female rats memories were sharpened.\n\nWomen have a greater ability to associate names with faces than men. They are also better at recalling lists and details of personal experiences. Because women use more of the right side of their brain, which is used to tag memories with emotions, women’s memories can be triggered by emotions. Overlapping neurons trigger many memories with one sense. For example, the smell of cookies may bring back childhood memories.\n\nMales are more likely to lose their memory at a more rapid rate than women due to the fact that their brains shrink three times faster than the female brain

It isn't true that we only use 10% our brains.  That is a very common myth that was started because of misinterpretation of scientific data.  The fact is that only 10% of our brains is made of up actual neurons that transmit signals, while the rest are glial cells that provide structural support and nutrition to the neurons and clear waste products and excess neurotransmitters.   However, these cells are all used most of the time.\nTo answer your actual question though, the brain is sort of designed to forget things for two reasons.  There is so much going on around us that we experience, if we paid attention to and remembered everything we would be overloaded by all this information pretty quickly.  Secondly, new connections need to be made all the time to incorporate new things that we learn, so in the midst of that some other connections are weakened or lost.  Sometimes things we mean to remember are lost in this process.  Of course, our brain doesn't always work how we would like it to, but like you said generally the things that are most important are the things that we remember, which is exactly how it should be.  Why store unnecessary information?

Depends entirely on what result you're after. Ginko is a good memory aid, and ginseng has reportedly assisted the ability to concentrate, Frankly the best way to look after your brain physically is the same as any other part of the body - good nutrition. When the body is 'comfortable', the mind is less distracted. I find that Omega 3's are very valuable in my daily diet and I use cold pressed flax oil liberally as a salad dressing. \nMental focus increases with practice, so get yourself into a quiet, relaxed and comfortable condition and you'll find that your mind cooperates much more readily. Gradually you'll experience less and less distraction and you'll be able to focus with tremendous unwavering concentration. This isn't just wishful thinking, this is my personal experience. Hope it helps.

No. The way we remember things is not just localized to one specific section in the brain, but it is a combination of neural networks essentially. Even if it was localized it would be very difficult to make someone specifically forget this without hurting other memories. Plus at present time drugs cannot be used to work locally in one specific section of the brain...even though nanotechnology will help us come closer to that goal.

this is a vitamin to boost your brain memory and to enhance learning ability. if the dosage is not on the bottle and since it is a vitamin take it like a supplement one a day just like the the vitamin that has been around for over 50 years

One of my teachers said to study something 15 minutes every day to retain it and then you will be able to remember it so much better.  So whatever you want  and need to remember, do that and see if that helps you.  A healthy diet-breakfast, and vegetables and fruit may help you have more energy, and a brisk walk about 4 times a week.  That will help your over all well-being.  Plus read a lot of different things and trivia Q and facts. I also heard about that --Ginko Biloba or what ever spelling, is helpful for people with a memory problem.  It is in the vitamin/herbal section of the pharmacy.
