They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase the effect of painful memories. In November, experts tested a drug on people in the

40、US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far, the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased. The research has caused a great deal of argument.
