Not exactly something that’s easy to confirm in humans.
Memory interference should be measurable just from timings. The more neurobiological claim of there being a lack of synapse downregulation… I’m not sure. Maybe some imaging approach like PET can show it.
Here, have a look. And that’s just measuring a surrogate parameter, blood flow. Anything with a neuron-level resolution requires electrodes stuck into the brain.
As for memory interference being measured just from timings, can you elaborate on that? The question is on the role of certain genetic factors, do you mean a study with a large number of genetically screened subjects? That may work. I’m still waiting for the sequencing cost to come down further … it’s the great medical bottleneck of our time.
