• Resumen

  • The article focuses on research by neurobiologist David Glanzman and colleagues that suggests memories may reside inside brain cells and speculates on its implications for treating posttraumatic stress disorder. It talks about the use of the drug propranolol, electrical stimulation, or therapy during memory reconsolidation to block the process. It mentions Glanzman found when cells were exposed to a reminder of electric shocks, they could recall blocked memories.
