New research shows that short-term stress can affect learning and memory—and the beneficial effects of massage on stress are already well documented.
The researchers identified a novel process by which stress caused these effects. They found that rather than involving the widely known stress hormone cortisol, which circulates throughout the body, acute stress activated selective molecules called corticotropin releasing hormones, which disrupted the process by which the brain collects and stores memories.

So do be aware of what any short term stress is doing to your memory, will you?
