Memory Can Be Selectively Wiped Out

At least that is what a team of American and French Scientists claim.
The test subjects were rats and the test was simple.

But, it does show a correlation if not a causation between the drug given to the rats and there behavior after hearing a sound which they previously associated with an electric shock.

This is a good start but different types of memories should be tested.
It might be just that this drug can selectively wipe out audial memory. Let's see what happens when trying to selectively wipe out visual or another sensory memory or a combination of other memories.

My feeling is that the more senses you have that contribute to a specific memory the harder it is to selectively wipe out.
