'Mind control' scientists can make mice forget bad memories at will - and the technique could apply to humans: "Neuroscientists at MIT have found a chemical way to make mice forget bad memories.
By deactivating a 'memory gene' - Npas 4 - they found that mice would 'forget' their fear of a chamber where they had previously been given electric shocks.

The researchers think that the gene could be crucial for all types of memory.
