The pill that erase the bad memories

Erase the bad memories will soon reality. This thanks to research carried out by the team of Cristina Posts, Professor of Neuroscience Department of New York.
Selectively erase unwelcome memories would be the cure-all for veterans, victims of rape and traffic accidents. Studies and research have brought to light various experimental methods but thanks to a neuroscientist, the technique definitive cancellation of memories and their control at your fingertips.
The discovery was illustrated in Venice during the 7TH Conference on The future of Science, which has as its object, in this Edition, the mind. Essentially, the researchers found that long-term memories linked to fears and anxieties, need to be imprinted by the release of hormones like cortisol and ladrenalina; with this discovery, it is believed that a drug therapy that mimics the hormonal fixation of the mind would be the key to check the memory.


Emotions act as adhesive, the team of Prof. Posts, acting on the receptors cortisono, stress hormone, they managed to find a way to control lintensit of fixation. In this way it will be possible to alleviate a memory or printed in memory. For this process, a crucial role as dallIGF2, the growth factor for linsulina. Introducing lIGF2 nellippocampo it will affect the entire learning process.

A pill could represent the definitive cancellation technique and control of memory, although for now, the experiments were performed on mice. Professor Cristina Posts explains that this discovery could help patients who suffer from post traumatic stress disorder, drug users who perform a recovery path but above all, more simply, the discovery could help those suffering from senile dementia as lAlzheimer.
