New Drug Deletes Bad Memories

Do you have a really bad memory, or past heartache,
that you would prefer to forget?

Researchers at Harvard and McGill University (in Montreal)
are working on an amnesia drug that blocks or deletes bad memories.
The technique seems to allow psychiatrists to disrupt the
biochemical pathways that allow a memory to be recalled.

In a new study, published in the Journal of Psychiatric Research,
the drug propranolol is used along with therapy to "dampen" memories
of trauma victims. They treated 19 accident or rape victims for ten days,
during which the patients were asked to describe their memories
of the traumatic event that had happened 10 years earlier.
Some patients were given the drug, which is also used to treat amnesia,
while others were given a placebo.
A week later, they found that patients given the drug showed
fewer signs of stress when recalling their trauma.

Similar research led by Professor Joseph LeDoux has been carried out
at New York University on rats; scientists were able to remove
a specific memory from the brains of rats while leaving the rest
of the animals' memories intact.

An amnesia drug called U0126 was administered.
The rats were trained to associate two musical tones with a mild electrical shock
so that when they heard either of the tones they would brace
themselves for a shock. The researchers then gave half the rats
the drug when playing one of the musical tones.
After the treatment, the rats that had been given the drug no longer
associated that particular tone with an imminent shock but
still braced themselves upon hearing the second tone,
demonstrating only one memory had been deleted.





if only by taking the drug could help to skip that 9 years.
maybe we'll be much closer now.
still love you tho ♥
