HupA seems to inhibit the activity of acetylcholine esterase — so the breakdown of acetylcholine is slowed and the strength and duration of the nerve impulse is improved.
The effects of HupA have been investigated in laboratory and clinical settings — with the overall findings that HupA is known to be a potent, reversible and selective inhibitor of acetylcholine esterase, with a rapid absorption and penetration into the brain in animal tests.
In another study of teenage Chinese students, the effect HupA on memory and learning performance was studied using a double-blind, matched pair, placebo controlled design in which 34 pairs of students complaining of memory inadequacy were given HupA (100mcg HupA, taken twice per day) or a look-alike placebo for 4 weeks.

 Hupa   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Hupa, Native American tribe of Athapaskan stock, originally occupying a number of small villages along the Trinity River in the Hoopa Valley of northwestern California, and now gathered on a United States government reservation in the same region.
Hupa culture, similar to the culture of the Yurok and Karok tribes, is the southernmost example of the indigenous cultures of the Pacific Northwest, although it lacks certain characteristic features of the northern tribes, such as secret societies, masks, totem poles, and potlatch ceremonies.
Like the tribes of the Northwest, the Hupa base many of their customs, such as marriage by purchase, and social distinctions, such as the assumption of chieftainship, upon wealth; an aristocracy of the wealthy in earlier days commanded the services of its debtors as slaves.

The Hupa depended for food on the deer and elk of the mountains, the salmon and lamprey of the river, and the acorns and other vegetal foods growing plentifully about them.
The Hupa took deer also with snares of a strong rope made from the fiber of the iris, or chased them into the water with dogs and pursued them in canoes.

The Hupa religion is one based on balance, explained George, who is the religious dance leader of the tribe and keeper of the regalia.
George's grandmother told him of the time the Hupa tribe formally petitioned the federal government for permission to perform their sacred dances, and it was granted on one condition.
Passage of the law allowed the Hupa to seek the return of a number of ceremonial items -- headdresses, dance costumes and baskets -- many of them taken away in the early 1900s at a time when the federal government was trying to "civilize" tribes by outlawing many of their cultural practices.

 Hupa Indians battle to reclaim Trinity River
The Hupas are looking out for their own interests, to be sure, but with their growing clout, they're adding an important new perspective to the debate over California's water supplies.
The next big task facing the Hupas is the physical restoration of their river, whose configuration was dramatically transformed by four decades of minimum flows.
But the Hupas' commitment goes even deeper than the calloused-hand environmentalism of the fishermen: The salmon the Hupas fight for is not only their staff of life but a centerpiece of their culture, one that involves elaborate ceremonies celebrating their return to the Trinity each year.

In a study conducted at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in Washington, D.C., it was recently further validated that huperzine A (HupA) is an excellent pre-treatment, preventative agent and brain booster for Alzheimer's disease (AD), and the associated conditions of dementia.
Compared to existing prescription drugs, HupA, as a nutritional supplement, has better therapeutic indices for human patients, too, and its potential peripheral side effects are minimal at the therapeutic dose ranges (averaging 100 micrograms daily).
It has been validated that HupA is a potent blocker of the enzyme, acetylcholinesterase (ACHE), which breaks down acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter essential for memory and brain function.

Food resources were varied and abundant for the Hupas, although salmon, deer, and acorns provided the bulk of their diet.
The Hupas remained undisturbed until the 1850s, when the discovery of gold brought hordes of would-be miners swarming into the area, wreaking havoc on the Hupas' villages, disrupting their subsistence cycles, and causing serious conflict.
This neglect allowed depredations against the Hupas to proceed unchecked, even though Fort Gaston was established at Hoopa in 1858 "for their protection." The Interior Department established the Hoopa Valley Reservation in 1864 and a boarding school in 1893.

The writing activities described in Appendix B of this paper illustrate the Language Proficiency Method, which is used in the Hupa Language, Culture, and Education Program of the Hoopa Valley Tribe in a variety of classes, ranging from preschool through high school.
Because the Hupa Language, Culture, and Education Program is a second language program, it is important to consider carefully various approaches for teaching second languages.
These range from a Hupa story told by the teacher to questions and answers about Hupa life, to games that involve play with cultural concepts, to student performances of Hupa plays (See Appendix B for sample activities for each level).
