New breakthrough: United States researchers think, you can clear the brain "fear" hub of the protein, thereby removing the pain caused by trauma. This science fiction movie the Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind, "some similar plot.
Benefit: researchers of this discovery will have had the bitter experience of soldiers and volcanic victim useful and can help people overcome the pain of breaking up.
SINA Tech News Beijing time on November 24, message, according to the United Kingdom media, everyone has something like to forget that the United States scientists think they may be able to help people forget the pain of the past. These scientists have developed a way to prevent the painful memories of the pill. Them in a medical breakthrough is found in the brain by removal of the "fear" hub of special proteins, to remove the traumatic memory.
This discovery will have had the bitter experience of soldiers and volcano victims. They even can help us overcome the pain of breaking up the pain. The United States research methodology, and science fiction movie the Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind "plot, the film by Kate Wright · temperature · silk and gold starring Cary. In 2004, the film, both through is called a "target memory clearing (targeted memory erasure)" fiction program, clear the memory of the past.
In order to carry out this research, the United States John · Hopkins scientists use a mouse on the brain treatment painful experience. They found that when the painful memories, the brain will form a unique receptor protein. Because of this protein is very unstable, it can be used to remove them permanently drug clears the traumatic memory. Researcher Richard · Hu GE Professor Neil said: "when a traumatic event occurs, the brain will produce sustainable life terrible memory, on a person's life, causing a bad effect. ”
He said that he's found that increased the possibility of the following: utilization of drug control these mechanisms, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of behavior therapy, such as post-traumatic stress disorder, and so on. Although scientists are using mouse experiments, but they think that humanity will draw the same test. Researchers through a shock method, rats on a voice generated fear. This voice prompted the rodent brain "fear" hub or called the amygdala (Amygdala) generate special proteins.
John · Hopkins scientists currently working through artificial means arousing the painful memories, reopen this breakthrough, and drugs dropped this protein. Hu gonul believes that the brain of other cognitive hub may also exist such a breakthrough, maybe one day we can take advantage of this treatment method for pain relief, or use it to conquer addicted to alcohol and drugs. However, Maryland mental health assistance organization of Kate · method Lynn Holt warned that there are still many questions remain to be solved.
She said: "clear memory and all the bad things is a good idea. However to completely remove a section of memory, feeling a little frightening. How can you ensure that a memory in the clear, does not disrupt a person's life, it's a good idea to solve this problem, because you know that the person is a lesson from experience, the ever-growing. "Atlanta Emory University's Paul · Ruth · Volta Pui said:" people's identity and memory together closely. It creates our unique personality. Want to control the memory of ideas is very worrying, even if it's motivation is good. ”
