Scientists know little about how the brain assigns cells to participate in encoding and storing memories. Now a UCLA/University of Toronto team has discovered that a protein called CREB controls the odds of a neuron playing a role in memory formation.
Learning triggers a cascade of chemicals in the brain that influence which memories are kept and which are lost.
If a cell is low in CREB, it is less likely to keep a memory. If the cell is high in CREB, it is more likely to store the memory.
By artificially manipulating CREB levels among groups of cells, one can determine where the brain stores its memories.This approach could potentially be used to preserve memory in people suffering from Alzheimer's or other brain injury. We may be able to guide memories into healthy cells and away from sick cells in dying regions of the brain.
Our memories define who we are, so learning how the brain stores memory is fundamental to understanding what it is to be human.Memories serve a purpose. They are about acquiring information that helps us deal with similar situations in the future. What we recall helps us learn from our past experiences and better shape our lives.
CREB, a protein is not a magnetic material and this is not affected with magnets.
Even a super magnet can not erase the human memory.

Only if it's a really big magnet and you're talking about your laptop or some other form of electronic memory device.

yes, robots tend to forget things when they stand in close proximity to magnetic fields.

Only if you have a unprotected hard drive as your core memory bank.
Try a helmet layer with alternating layers of water, lead, aluminum and cork.....that should preserve what little you have left.
