Consuming caffeine is the energy boost of choice for millions to wake up or stay up. Now, however, researchers at the Johns Hopkins University have found another use for the stimulant: memory enhancer.

Michael Yassa, assistant professor of psychological and brain sciences in the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences at Johns Hopkins, and his team of scientists, found that caffeine has a positive effect on long-term memory in humans. Their research, recently published in the journal Nature Neuroscience, shows that caffeine enhances certain memories for up to 24 hours after it is consumed. 

The lead author of the paper is Daniel Borota, an undergraduate student in Yassa's lab who received an undergraduate research award from Johns Hopkins to conduct this research.
