Very, very neat

Researchers discover mechanism that determines when detailed memories are retained (thanks, [livejournal.com profile] dsgood)

The neuropsychologist who recommended I take acetyl L-Carnitine would be unsurprised to read this, I think.

I had never heard of acetyl-L-Carnitine before this. Reading the abstracts of several clinical papers, I am probably going to run out and get some today, as it apparently has beneficial properties for both people with early Alzheimers and early diabetes. Both run in my family; I have no symptoms - and don't want any! - so this would seem to be a good preemptive attack.

Thanks for mentioning this.
