Background: Statins are a class of drugs that lower cholesterol levels in the blood by inhibiting an enzyme called 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase. High cholesterol levels can lead to plaque buildup in the arteries, which can cause Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease(ASCVD). Statins can reduce the risk of ASCVD events by about 25-35% but they might be associated with symptoms such as muscle pain, liver damage, or diabetes.

Although participants with dissociation proneness showed inefficient cognitive inhibition, whether and under what stimulus-task contexts dissociators show inefficient memory inhibition remains inconclusive. This study investigated the relationship between trait dissociation and basic operation of memory control using a non-clinical sample. To reduce the involvement of strategic control and the influence of emotionality, the retrieval-practice paradigm was adopted to examine unintentional memory inhibition of neutral materials.
