As for your question Deaderest, I'm not a neuroscientist, so I don't know what areas in the field are less understood than others, I'd probably try to find info in a place where neuroscience is lacking and can benefit from study in...

but me, personally, probably something in memory, what makes a memory a memory, what makes one more memorable than the other, besides significance to the person experiencing what would become the memory...like perhaps things occuring in a certain state of mind, or if the presence/absence of certain chemicals or neurotransmitters effect memory formation/retention.

Again, for all I know this might be a well researched understood area in neuroscience...but it's one I'd be interested in learning more about.
