Interesting... particularly about the tape repeats.

The act of "bearing down" -- which occurs when people move their bowels, give birth or have sex -- created pressure in the brain's blood vessels, resulting in temporary lack of blood flow that caused amnesia.

Oh, shit.

Caplan likened the hippocampus, which is responsible for short-term memory in the brain, to a tape recorder. If blood flow to the brain gets restricted, the hippocampus cannot record new memory.

Bummer.

This is like you with the recurring nonsense about the labels, Tecs. Maybe you should try ex-lax.
