TL;DR

Researchers have discovered that melatonin and its derivatives, AMK and ramelteon, enhance memory by modulating the phosphorylation levels of key memory-related proteins. The study conducted on male mice showed that these compounds facilitate the formation of long-term memory. These findings could lead to the development of new treatments for age-related memory impairment.
