Scientists discover 'glue' in the human brain that preserves memory

Scientists have discovered a 'glue' in the human brain that preserves memory. Because the molecules in our brain are constantly being replaced, the 'building blocks' of memory are short-lived - we forget what happened a few days ago. But the newly discovered KIBRA molecule acts like a 'glue' that anchors enzymes with critically important neuronal connections. Thus, the most important memories are not lost and stay with us for a lifetime.
