Anti-convulsant drugs suppress the cental nervous system - this is partly why the memory problems. But it is also because epileptics are magnesium deficient. I didn't know that magnesium would effct cognitive issues including memory and was very amazed at how much my memory as well as ability to figure things out improved. I only wish that my memory had been half as good when I was in school and college.
Magnesium supplement helps boost brainpower
Neuroscientists at MIT and Tsinghua University in Beijing show that increasing brain magnesium with a new compound enhanced learning abilities, working memory, and short- and long-term memory in rats. The dietary supplement also boosted older rats' ability to perform a variety of learning tests

The results of this study do not depend on this particular form of magnesium - all magnesium will have this effect - other then magnesium chloride which in studies has some effects on white blood cells & immune system that the other magnesium compounds do not. The trick with magnesium is taking a product that can be absorbed well.
