They reasoned that blocking the same enzyme in people might help erase painful memories and could even have implications for Alzheimer’s disease and drug addiction, two other ailments tied to memory.
The study, reported by UCLA on Tuesday, was due to be published on Wednesday in the Journal of Neuroscience.
