Embarrassment. It's embarrassment right?

...Does it come with an equivalent glue remover? Because I feel like I need that more.

It is only working on my short term memories. That time I did that thing when I was 11 is still there and I'm not entirely sure why I was recently banned from that Walmart.

That one, sadly, works not just on links between the neurons, but on the neurons themselves

The research suggests that PKMzeta [a protein that's part of memory creation] works alongside another molecule, called KIBRA (kidney and brain expressed adaptor protein), which attaches to synapses activated during learning, effectively “tagging” them. KIBRA couples with PKMzeta, which then keeps the tagged synapses strengthened.

Intriguiging. I wonder how this is related to short-term/working memory?

It also appears KIBRA dysfunction is closely related to Alzheimers.

Can I get a bottle of that glue? I wanna go back to school and get a better degree and I could use some of that glue on the material.
