Furthermore, on the therapies that are currently applied, indicating that they understand memory as something permanent and that, although in some cases eliminating achieve some memories, they may reappear in some stressful situations. These researchers have shown that memory-reviving the show objects that stimulate a chilling reminder “open a window of time ‘in which specific memories can be edited before storing again. “Before that memories are stored, there is a period in which they are likely to be disrupted,” said Elizabeth Phelps of New York University. A time window So, bad memories can be modified or strengthened, but only during the ‘time window’ specifically that occurs right after the memory is invoked appalling, from 10 minutes after invoking and six hours later, when the memory becomes to be stored in the brain. The researchers applied these discoveries to people in the lab, but can not be applied immediately in people with severe anxiety problems, including PTSD.
