Eternal Sunshine for the Mouse’s Mind

Jump to Comments

Scientists say they’ve erased a specific memory in a mouse, while keeping other memories intact. You can read about it here. Researcher say their drug, which causes limited amnesia, may have applications to treat post-traumatic stress disorder. Human applications probably are still far off, but this is pretty fascinating, to say the least. I didn’t know you could really track down memories!
