After a relatively brief overview of the physiology of memory that primarily concerns the mechanisms of memory and the factors that influence these mechanisms, some practical ways are proposed, based on the physiology of memory, to enhance memory and make the best possible use of the brain's potentials, which remain largely underutilized.

This work is not addressed to those who believe exclusively in memory. It is aimed at those who believe in the development of critical thinking, which, depending on the subject matter, presupposes a varying amount of "information" that is systematically approached and the proper functioning of the memory mechanisms.
