Good news for procrastinating students: a nasal spray developed by a team of German scientists promises to give late night cram sessions a major boost, if a good night’s sleep follows. In a research report featured as the cover story of the October 2009 print issue ofThe FASEB Journal, these scientists show that a molecule from the body’s immune system (interleukin-6) when administered through the nose helps the brain retain emotional and procedural memories during REM sleep.

“a molecule from the body’s immune system (interleukin-6)”? Please.
Oh, cool, we order that stuff here at times … Anyone interested? Ehehehe ..
Maybe simple hard work works as well? Or put just everything on a mem-stick and plug it in during exams .. As it sounds as if it will be all about who can afford the latest inventions .. no longer about personal achievement. As with steroids for athletes .. maybe a dope test for student in the future?
DNA spray for tracking down criminals is also a new invention ..
Money spray .. when will that be here .. you spray it on paper and voila … Oh, that invention we already have. Let’s get a job at the state’s print company and work after office hours.
The key to my future has finally arrived.
And we’ve all been sitting here reading Derren’s book for memory tips!
WOW maybe I should give up my daily self hypnosis sessions for this instead. hmmmm
