There has always been a lot of interest in accelerating brain function with the use of drugs and chemicals but I'm not aware of anything yet that stimulates the hippocampus to store long term memory.

Electric current in a wire, where the charge carriers are electrons, is a measure of the quantity of charge passing any point of the wire per unit of time. In alternating current (q.v.) the motion of the electric charges is periodically reversed; in direct current (q.v.) it is not. In many contexts the direction of the current in electric circuits is taken as the direction of positive charge flow, the direction opposite to the actual electron drift.
