"Coffee " Add Strong Auxiliary Memory

For some people , hot coffee in the morning is a ritual of its own prior to the day . Effects of caffeine in coffee is believed to help increase the sense of alert . However , recently a study found that caffeine can also improve memory .
Researchers from Johns Hopkins University , USA , analyzed the effects of caffeine as a factor strengthening the memory . As a result, caffeine is proven to strengthen specific memory within 24 hours after consumption .
" These findings suggest caffeine has an effect on human memory processes . Process makes memory more permanent and difficult to forget , " said study author Michael Yassa , assistant professor of neurobiology and behavior at the University of California , Irvine , who conducted the study while at Johns Hopkins .
The study, funded by the National Institutes of Health and the U.S. National Science Foundation involving 100 participants drink caffeine but in a moderate degree . That is , they do not drink coffee , tea , or soda in large quantities .

" We chose participants who drank less than 500 milligrams of caffeine a week . Mostly not a coffee drinker , but drinking soda at least once or twice per week , " said Yassa .
Caffeine content in drinks varies widely . Yassa said , an average of one cup of coffee contains 160 milligrams , but there is also containing up to 330 milligrams of caffeine . According to him , to give the effect of strengthening the memory , one needs to consume at least 200 milligrams of caffeine .
In a study published in the journal Nature Neuroscience , the researchers asked participants to look at the pictures that easily found daily on the computer screen , such as shoes , chairs , rubber ducks , and others. They requested that participants indicate whether these objects include objects indoors or outdoors .
" We are not too concerned with their answers , but would like to know the object of their attention and remember , " said Yassa .
Five minutes after the participants saw the pictures , half of them were given 200 mg of caffeine and the other half was given a placebo . One day later , they asked to see more pictures taken from different sides , then answering whether the object is new , old , or similar to the objects they saw yesterday .
As a result, participants were given caffeine better distinguish and identify the object image is new , old , or similar .
" This means that caffeine has the effect of strengthening the memory in a longer period of time , in addition to the other benefits of a sense of alert , attentive , and alert , " said Yassa .
