New medicine suppresses unpleasant memories
Researchers from Harvard and Montreal are experiencing a drug that can, in the best traditions of cyberpunk, suppress favorite memories in the human brain. An experienced psychiatrist with the help of the substance propranolol (propranolol) will be able to carry out a filtration sweep of memory - choose what needs to be left and try to block the unnecessary slag.
Drug trials were conducted on 19 survivors about a decade ago. After a ten-day course of treatment, those who took the medicine did not lose their memories completely, but were able to talk about them with much less stress.
We add that scientists have long studied and achieved some success in introducing fake memories into the human brain , and also learned how to erase memory from rats . All these technologies are far from commercial use.
