Another Way To Erase Memories

amigoro writes "Neuroscientists have discovered that long-term memories are not etched in a stable form, like a 'clay tablet,' as once thought. The process is much more dynamic, involving a miniature molecular machine that must run constantly to keep memories going. Jamming the machine briefly can erase long-term memories." A few months back we discussed a similar removal of rat memories by a different method.

I'm sorry to hear that you have PTSD. With a decade full of panic attacks and anxiety I think I can somewhat relate to how you must feel.

Although I'm not a doctor or medically trained in any way, I would like to share something with you I stumbled upon a week or two ago:

All this with the hope that it might be able to give you some relief.

All the best,
