Then why does it make people so forgetful? These studies should always be taken with a grain of salt on both sides

It seems the experiment is similar to microdosing cannabis. It's not widespread practice, but so far I haven't heard about people complaining their memory is impaired while microdosing.

It makes your short term memory worse, demonstratively, but doesn't seem to have the same affect on long term memory.

And yeah, this study is on mice, so it's pretty inconclusive.
