Alcohol could have this unexpected effect in our memories
Do you study for hours without the information being recorded in your memory? The results of this new study seem to have found an unconventional solution to the issue, since they suggest that alcohol could actually help us fix the information learned before consuming it.
Because of what the research team has pointed out, this phenomenon may be because alcohol works as a blocking agent of new information giving the brain more tools to process the information learned before starting to drink.
Alcohol could improve our memory
No more drinking to forget! This study by the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom consisted of analyzing the learning of 88 people who qualified as social drinkers, among whom there were 31 men and 57 women between 18 and 53 years old.
People were randomly divided into groups where some decided to drink while others decided not to, even a little.
The results were surprising because, after having had to learn certain words, it was discovered that those who had been drinking remembered better what they had learned and were able to perform the task more efficiently.
Professor Celia Morgan - the director of this study - pointed out that the research not only showed that "those who drank alcohol improved by repeating the task of learning the words, but that the effect was stronger among those who drank more".
The results coincide with previous studies that found indications of an effect similar to this one, while the theories point out that alcohol consumption is likely to be able to make the hippocampus -the area of ??our brains responsible for memory- go from consolidating memory to short term to consolidate a longer-term memory.
Wait! Do not run to buy tequila
The specialists have indicated that it is necessary to take into account the negative effects of alcohol, both on mental and physical health, so they do not recommend abuse of consumption but do so in moderation consulting a doctor beforehand to rule out possible unwanted effects.
On the other hand, the medical community will continue to investigate the matter with more studies in this regard that will try to confirm this positive effect of alcohol.
Do you think alcohol can really have this amazing effect on our memories?
