Is there anything we can’t learn from drugged up rats? Researchers at Wake Forest University and the University of Southern California used a gaggle of medicated rodents to illustrate a technique in which memory could be restored with the flick of a switch. The rats were outfitted with tiny, rat-sized electrodes and exposed to pharmacological substances, which caused them to forget the relationship between pushing a lever and getting water. By turning the electronic activate, the scientists restored the rats’ memory of the duty — turning it off made them forget again. Your next step within the process is testing the experiment out on primates and maybe some day utilizing the research to profit victims of strokes, Alzheimer’s, or injury-induced memory loss.
