Erasing memory in rats gives dementia patients hope

By Michael Kahn

LONDON (Reuters) - Researchers have found a way to erase long-term memory in rats without damaging their brains in a study that could lead to targeted drugs for people suffering from dementia.

The findings show long-term memories are not as secure as thought and challenge the idea they stabilize after maturing from short-term memories, said Yadin Dudai, who led the study.

"Memory can be erased by applying a drug into a specific part of the brain that stores that memory," he said in a telephone interview. "Long-term memory can be erased."

In the study, published on Thursday in the journal Science, the U.S. and Israeli researchers fed the rats saccharine, which made them sick and taught them to associate the taste with feeling unwell.http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?alias=erasing-memory-in-rats-gi&chanID=sa003&modsrc=reuters

Hey, you can finally erase all the good times under Reagan, Bush 41 and Bush 43 and live in the Clinton years for the rest of your lives! Guess there's a lot of happy people on these boards!

Terrorists strike? No problem! Just take a pill and forget it ever happened!

Wife runs off with another woman because you arn't man enough to keep her? no problem! just take a pill and forget it ever happened!

Hamburger too salty? Don't arrest the person who did it, just take a pill and forget the hamburger made you sick to your stomach!

Clinton forces Israel to release terrorist who then flies 747 into WTC killing 3000 people, no problem, just take this pill and forget it ever happened!


Woot! The cause of, and solution to all of life's problems in pill form! And, best of all, when Hillary is President and working for the Communist Chinese, like her Husband, we'll have Socialized Healthcare to pay for these pills!

Would you agree that this technology is VERY fraught with potential problems/abuse?
