Memory enhancing thermal proteins were synthesized from heating aspartic acid, glutamic acid, proline and tryptophan above 100.degree. C. Two hydrophobic and one non-hydrophobic polymer were injected intracerebroventricularly into the brains of mice after the mice had undergone partial training in footshock avoidance conducted in a T-maze. When retention of footshock avoidance was tested one week later, the hydrophobic polymers enhanced retention while the non-hydrophobic polymer did not.
