Scientists Erase Specific Memories In Mice 320

Ostracus writes "It sounds like science fiction, but scientists say it might one day be possible to erase undesirable memories from the brain, selectively and safely. After exposing mice to emotionally powerful stimuli, such as a mild shock to their paws, the scientists then observed how well or poorly the animals subsequently recalled the particular trauma as their brain's expression of CaMKII was manipulated up and down. When the brain was made to overproduce CaMKII at the exact moment the mouse was prodded to retrieve the traumatic memory, the memory wasn't just blocked, it appeared to be fully erased."

Comment Datumguard will backup windows and linux servers (Score 1) 222

My company also struggled with an easy to use and robust offsite backup solution that backed up Windows servers with exchange along with our Linux and Unix servers running MySQL and other services. Backups were always a large headache for us and our customers. About two years ago we started testing multiple backup systems and running large scale recovery scenarios for our company and our customers. We needed it to be dead simple to use for both customers and administrators, offer revision control, encrypt the data, compress the data, and be able to store the data for up to 7 years or longer. In our quest to find and implement the ultimate solution we started our own company offering offsite backup, and we had over two years of testing and breaking many other solutions. Now we are the company our customers look towards to ease the stress of their backups both large and small. http://datumguard.com/
