Another way to erase memories...

Neuroscientists have discovered that long-term memories are not etched 
in a "clay tablet"-like stable form as once thought. The process is much 
more dynamic, involving a miniature molecular machine that must run 
constantly to keep memories going, and jamming this machine briefly can 
erase long-term memories.

The findings by Prof. Yadin Dudai, Head of the Weizmann Institute’s 
Neurobiology Department, which appeared today in the journal Science, 
may pave way for memory altering drugs in the future.
