Erasure of negative memories one step closer to reality

Different forms of memory exist in the same neuron and can be manipulated separately

Scientists have known for some time that a memory is stored in the brain through changes in the strength of particular synapses, the structures that pass signals between neurons. However, how the change in strength persisted remained a mystery. Solving this mystery has important implications for remedying neurological and psychological disorders.
