Why
Sleep deprivation makes mice forget social encounters, but the memories are found to still exist and can be recalled with the asthma drug roflumilast.
The Frontline Impact
How this affects you
This research identifies a potential pathway to restore memories lost due to sleep deprivation, which could lead to novel treatments for various forms of amnesia in humans. The findings suggest that certain memories are not erased but become inaccessible, and drugs like roflumilast could help retrieve them.
