after a frightening experience. they hope it might reduce, or possibly wipe out, the effect of painful memories.in november, experts tested a drug on people in the 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 wiped out. they are not
