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.

Direct current (DC) is a flow of electrical charge carriers that always takes place in the same direction. The current need not always have the same magnitude, but if it is to be defined as dc, the direction of the charge carrier flow must never reverse. This contrasts with alternating current which varies the direction of flow. Sources of direct current include power supplies, electrochemical cells and batteries, and photovoltaic cells and panels. The intensity, or amplitude, of a direct current might fluctuate with time, and this fluctuation might be periodic.
