Brain Researchers open door to editing memory

With a DRUG. This is in the NY Times. Notice how it's all presented as a GOOD THING. Yeah, sure. It will only be used for good, we can be sure of that hmm? Like, nobody can imagine them sticking this molecule into the bird flu vaccine that they'll force everyone to take, or some other 'required' shot in the next manufactured 'emergency.' And then people will be walking around forgetting what the Constitution ever meant, or freedom, or who knows what diabolical things they would do to us. No wonder they are glomming all over this area of research. Plenty of money to throw at this. Brings a whole new meaning to fucking with your head. - Ed.

Suppose scientists could erase certain memories by tinkering with a single substance in the brain. Could make you forget a chronic fear, a traumatic loss, even a bad habit. [or whatever they would like you to forget]

Researchers in Brooklyn have recently accomplished comparable feats, with a single dose of an experimental drug delivered to areas of the brain critical for holding specific types of memory, like emotional associations, spatial knowledge or motor skills.

The drug blocks the activity of a substance that the brain apparently needs to retain much of its learned information. And if enhanced, the substance could help ward off dementias and other memory problems. [and people resisting the NWO]

So far, the research has been done only on animals. But scientists say this memory system is likely to work almost identically in people.

The discovery of such an apparently critical memory molecule, and its many potential uses, are part of the buzz surrounding a field that, in just the past few years, has made the seemingly impossible suddenly probable: neuroscience, the study of the brain.

“If this molecule is as important as it appears to be, you can see the possible implications,” said Dr. Todd C. Sacktor, a 52-year-old neuroscientist who leads the team at the SUNY Downstate Medical Center, in Brooklyn, which demonstrated its effect on memory. “For trauma. For addiction, which is a learned behavior. Ultimately for improving memory and learning.”

Uh huh. Yes we can see the possible implications. Read more @ Pimpin Turtle
