Human beings have been blessed (by the process of evolution) with the gift of its cognitive ability. Among all the cognitive abilities, memory has always remained an important domain whose role in our daily lives is immense. As a natural (could be physiological or pathological or combination of both) process, with aging our memory gets a halt first, followed by variable rates of fading which, in its extreme forms can clinically present to us as a neurobehavioral symptom complex named as dementia. Massive research has been conducted globally to ‘pause’ this decline and recent evidence of ‘possible memory enhancement’ correlating its anatomical basis has gained much attention as well.
