I read the abstract of an article called Erasing Sensorimotor Memories via PKMζ Inhibition. I did not get much useful information out of this article, but just more confusing science that leads me to no confusion. This article discusses a method used to erase a rat’s memory. The rat learns something in the lab, and then is injected with some sort of protein, which does a lot of confusing stuff to the rat’s brain. After the rat ingests this substance, it then goes through the same task that it did previously. The rat takes the same amount of time to learn how to do this task as it did the first time, which indicates no memory retention about the specified task. After all of this research, I really would like to change my topic. Does anybody have any better ideas of which aspect of “Dollhouse” I should focus on, rather than the mind erasing and memory implanting part? I feel like I will never find anything useful about this, because it is such an unknown topic, and very confusing. I have found it very hard to find an article that is actually useful for this paper, so does anybody have any suggestions for another search engine or a sight with more in depth sources? Thanks!
