Block Fearful Memories with New Drug-Free Approach

A new method was established to temporarily shut out fearful memories. Researchers state that this new technique has the potential to alter the way scientists view how the brain’s memory storage process works. This new way of seeing things could possibly even lead the way to new treatments for anxiety disorders.

This is the first time a fearful memory has been shut out in humans with a behavioral manipulation.

Researcher Daniela Schiller, PhD, reports that “they’ve been able to reshape memories. The process involves resurrecting unpleasant memories and creating a window of opportunity for reshaping the fears, a period called “reconsolidation.””
