Study takes step toward erasing bad memories - Reuters Health: "A widely available blood pressure pill could one day help people erase bad memories, perhaps treating some anxiety disorders and phobias, according to a Dutch study published on Sunday.
The generic beta-blocker propranolol significantly weakened people's fearful memories of spiders among a group of healthy volunteers who took it, said Merel Kindt, a psychologist at the University of Amsterdam, who led the study.
'We could show that the fear response went away, which suggests the memory was weakened,' Kindt said in a telephone interview."
