Researchers at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine have found that insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF-2), a naturally occurring hormone, can boost memory retention in animals.
The research may one day provide scientists with a new way to treat memory impairments, such as those caused by dementia, and may also contribute to developing memory-boosting drugs.
