For those unaware, the vast majority of 'Wasabi' around the world is really just horseradish paste. The actual Wasabi plant is much rarer and harder to cultivate/mass produce. Real Wasabi also loses it's flavor in about 15 minutes.
This study appears to be referring to the actual Wasabi plant, so the spicy green paste you eat on your sushi isn't going to be boosting your memory like in this study.
Here's a source.
Oh I don't know about that. Every time I eat fake wasabi, I have a very strong memory about hating fake wasabi.
