"Fruits, vegetables and legumes - basically any nutrient-rich foods - are all considered memory enhancers. "What's good for your body is good for your brain," says Henner.

Marilu Henner (as Elaine Nardo) and Danny DeVito (as Louie De Palma) on "Taxi," which aired from 1978 to 1983. "This is what I call their 'primary track.' For some people, it's travel for others it might be sports, relationships, food, places they've lived, jobs they've had, their children's lives or even certain television episodes." If your most vibrant memories are attached to travel, for example, think about the trips you've taken, "then start filling in the blanks." "Every person has one thing they remember better than any other thing in their life," says Henner. We asked Henner to share her tips for how you can tune up your memory. "But many different parts of the brain must be activated in order to retrieve a memory." "Things like crossword puzzles and sudoku are helpful for one part of your brain," she says. Henner, who recently raised $100,000 for the Alzheimer's Association, says people "can probably improve their brains" by sampling some of the "nurture" exercises she has devised (which McGaugh has also tested in his UC lab). So it's got a very strong nature, but it's also something I nurture - they're equal to me." "I've had this memory since I was 5 years old," says Henner, "but I've exercised it through the years. Poppy Montgomery plays memory-endowed New York police detective Carrie Wells and Mark Nelson plays an unmistakably McGaugh-like character named Eugene Lustig. His discoveries will be woven into the third season of Unforgettable when it returns to CBS on July 28. Since November 2009, neurobiologist James McGaugh has been studying the uber-retentive memory of Henner and others in his research lab at the University of California, Irvine. (In case you're wondering, it's also the day she turned 23.) Point out a pair of shoes in her closet, and she can recollect the day she purchased them: "These are old - Oct. 1975? April 6 of that year fell on a Sunday, Henner instantly recalls. One of his most dangerous abilities is the power to rewire the enemies’ minds and eliminating their entire five senses.Give Henner a year, and she'll tell you what day of the week her birthday was on. He could stop people from moving entirely. He could inflict pain where there was none and control a person’s thoughts and actions.

He can get into a person’s mind using his telepathy and rewrite his or her entire brain. Now with greater understanding of the mind, his powers have amplified. Professor X’s powers were hindered by the limited understanding of people’s psyche. When Professor X first debuted in Marvel Comics, research into the intricacies of the Human Mind was only starting to take off. Combine that with his genius level intellect (he is pretty much Bruce Banner, Reed Richards, and Hank Pym all rolled into one), Professor X is a force to be reckoned with. His eidetic memory does not just give him perfect recall, it also aids him in processing impossibly huge amounts of information not even the world’s most powerful super computer is capable of.

Impossibly Powerful Eidetic Memory & Genius Level IntellectĪ side effect of his telepathic powers of accessing and manipulating the minds of thousands of people in a single point of time is that Professor X has photographic memory. Professor X would absolutely roll over the Avengers. Imagine this ability being used as a torture and interrogation technique. By stretching the human mind’s perception of time, he can make it look like the people under his spell have spent months while in reality they have been under his control for mere hours. Professor X has, on numerous occasions, trained his fellow X-Men using this power. He has uncovered a way to manipulate the part of our brain that deals with our perception of time. Professor X has studied the human psyche more than anybody on Earth. There’s plenty of those running around in the planet. This ability gives him the power to remain truly immortal since he can keep transferring his consciousness into other bodies. The new host could become just as powerful as Professor X. Professor X possesses the power to transfer his consciousness, powers, and all his combined knowledge he has amassed over the years into any able bodied person. Charles Xavier’s abilities are so vast and magnificent they allow him to cheat death itself. To consider Professor X as a week old man only a common cold away from death is utter foolishness.
