Forgetfulness Is Also Influenced By Time of the Day

Researchers have recently come up with and have identified and found a gene in mice which seems for influencing memory recall at different various times of day and has tracked how it causes mice to be more forgetful just before they wake up normally.

Satoshi Kida who is a professor from the University from Tokyo Department of Applied Biological Chemistry said that they may have identified and found the first gene in mice specific to the memory retrieval.

Every time when you forget something, it could have been due to the reason that you didn't truly learned from it -- like for example the name of the person one was just introduced to just a minute ago; or it could also have been because one is not able to recall the information from where it is further stored in our brains -- like the lyrics of our most favorite songs slipping our mind.

Many memory researchers have shown in a study that how new and unseen memories are made. The biology of science of forgetting is much more complicated to study as the difficulties in distinguishing between the two aspects of not knowing and not recalling.

Kida also added that they have designed a type of memory test that can enable differentiation between not learning versus knowing but not being able to remember.
