New research from the University of Montreal
New research from the University of Montreal suggests it's an option people might eventually have.
On Thursday, the school announced results of a study showing that the drug metyrapone could potentially "overwrite bad memories." This substance, the researchers say, reduces levels of cortisol, a stress hormone associated with memory recall.
It's theorized that by reducing a person's level of cortisol just before retrieving a memory, doctors can make the memory less painful for the person in the future.
Neurological science expert Marie-France Marin, lead author of the study,The best place to find quality and authentic canada goose jackets goods are usually at boutique thrift Canada Goose. said such findings could prove beneficial for those suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.
"These people have very bad memories that prevent them from living a normal life,Who are the sellers on eBay of authentic moncler coats?" she said. "We think that therapy is a good way to help with PTSD; however, for some people, it seems to not work or not be optimal.
"If every time you retrieve (a bad memory) and it's not helping you because you cannot calm down a bit and put things back into perspective, it might be a good idea to retrieve it under the influence of metyrapone so you will recall less of the emotional or very traumatic part."
She added that such therapeutic practices could lead to less painful emotions during future recollections of the memory in question.
Marin acknowledged the controversy surrounding this line of research.
"Some researchers said we're erasing memories," she said. "I think it's an overstatement.
