# 30 Small Habits to Improve Memory

> This article introduces 30 practical habits from the book "Hippocampus Memory Training" to enhance memory, based on the latest brain science research. By incorporating these habits into daily life, readers can activate the hippocampus and improve memory efficiency.

This method comes from a book called "Hippocampus Memory Training," which has been the best-selling memory book in Japan for five consecutive years. The brain's functions are profound, but the greatest advantage of this book lies in its practicality. If we turn some of the 30 methods it recommends into habits, the results would be unimaginable.

If we understand the memory mechanism and can control our memory, we might easily handle school exams. If we can acquire more knowledge, we might lead a richer and more colorful life. But merely knowing this is not enough; research on memory is a crucial breakthrough for treating and preventing dementia such as Alzheimer's disease, which has become a social issue. Brain scientists firmly believe this dream can be realized and are researching memory day and night. Modern brain science has already found clues to enhance memory. This book will directly report on the latest brain science achievements from the forefront of research. Of course, as brain science researchers, we hope to quickly introduce the latest findings to everyone, but let's first calm this excitement. This book first introduces the basic concepts of brain science and memory mechanisms, then discusses the latest topics on the hippocampus and LTP (Long-Term Potentiation), and centers on how to enhance memory in reality. Cramming without understanding is of no benefit to the brain; the brain itself has efficient learning methods. If we understand the brain's structure, we naturally know how to improve the efficiency of learning and memory.

Why is it that despite doing so many memory training exercises, memory still doesn't improve? Because the methods do not touch the essence of brain memory. Why is Yuji Ikegaya's hippocampus memory method effective? The latest brain science research confirms that humans remember through the hippocampus. Through targeted exercises, we can promote hippocampal activity and fundamentally enhance memory. The hippocampal activation training system is the essence of renowned brain scientist Yuji Ikegaya's years of research. Why is it that we can't recall something that's clearly in our minds? Why do we forget more when we're afraid of forgetting? Why does memory not improve despite so much training? ... The latest brain science research shows that humans remember through the hippocampus. Through targeted exercises, we can promote hippocampal activity and fundamentally enhance memory. Renowned brain scientist Yuji Ikegaya, after years of research and experiments, has summarized a set of practical hippocampal activation memory training methods, which he teaches in this book to quickly enhance memory through scientific methods.

Finally, I want to excerpt the 30 small methods from the book and turn them into daily habits for long-term adherence:
