Other than that, though, I wanted to share this with you - the advent of Eternal Sunshine. A quote from the article summary, published in the journal Neuron:
"Inducible and Selective Erasure of Memories in the Mouse Brain via Chemical-Genetic Manipulation"
"Rapid and selective erasures of certain types of memories in the brain would be desirable under certain clinical circumstances. By employing an inducible and reversible chemical-genetic technique, we find that transient αCaMKII overexpression at the time of recall impairs the retrieval of both newly formed one-hour object recognition memory and fear memories, as well as 1-month-old fear memories. "
You don't have to read the whole thing, but it is pretty interesting if you have a few extra minutes.
Deleting memories like old files on your hardrive...
