the altered mindless memory

[orbsycli]

why does drug/alchohol use cause memory loss? i want to know the details....

[Fishteacher73]

The exact process of memory formation and storage is still not fully understood, so how some substances alter this process my still be up in the air.

[rockytriton]

well, it kills brain cells right? Isn't that where your memory is stored? In the brain?

[Fishteacher73]

AS well as it interferes with mylenation and dendrtite formation as well and these two process are implicated in memory formation, but the exat biology/chemistry of it is still not understood.

[orbsycli]

depends on the substance how many brain cells are damaged or killed, i'm pretty sure they all do.
