an incredible discovery, scientists have learned to get rid of the bad memories. Memory – that’s all we have, according to many. Indeed, without the memories we could be ourselves. However, in some cases, they bring only pain and suffering, and therefore the ability to manage memory would be a godsend for for traumatized people. After thinking about it, neuroscientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have made a surprising discovery, learning to erase bad memories.
A breakthrough in modern medicine is difficult to overestimate, because it can be used to deliver people from phobias and depression, helping them to become happy. However, you should immediately mention that the method helps to transform traumatic memories in a positive, yet only been tried in rodents. Yet, early on something like that could be heard only in the movies or read the fantastic book. The method developed by American neurologists generally like to work neyralizatora (eraser memory).
The secret of success lies in the connection between memory and emotions that evoke memories – joy and happiness to fear or anguish. Scientists at MIT have used this in his experiment on laboratory mice. They monitored the brain activity of mice and in particular those which neurons activated in the hippocampus and amygdala, areas of the brain responsible for the formation of fear and pleasant memories. Then, in the same neurons acted pulses of bright light. Depending on the wavelength of light and the area of the brain of mice, on which he was working mouse or ceased to feel fear or, conversely, began to be afraid.
