Here is the latest issue from the annual review of psychology: Volume 72, 2021 | Annual Review of Psychology
Based on the titles and their abstracts, could you point out which article seems like alchemy to you? The first one "Active forgetting: Adaptation of memory by prefrontal control" is open access if you want to skim through it and make any comments.
