American scientists from the medical center SUNY Downstate they opened the molecular mechanism, which answers for the retention of information in the brain. As showed experiments, the suppression of the corresponding molecules makes it possible to erase lasting recollections. Moreover, it was explained that this "purification" of memory does not absolutely prevent the repeated memorization of information.
As researchers assert, permanent memory ensures the ferment by the name protein kinase M-zeta, which constantly strengthens the force of synaptic contacts between the neurons. Mechanism is analogous to the retention of information in the form of the binary code - zero and ones - on the hard disk of computer. Suppressing the activity of this ferment, scientists learned to erase the recollections of daily and even monthly remoteness. It is remarkable, that the suppression of other similar molecules could not influence the memory.
Specialists are assured that this discovery can be will be used with the development of the new methods of treating the disorders, which are characterized by pathologic "super-strengthening" of synaptic connections. They include such pathologies, as neuropathic pains, the syndrome of phantom be ill in the amputated extremities, dystonia and post-traumatic stress. Obtained in the course of studies data also will help to create the new therapeutic means, which will be capable are capable both of strengthening the memory and of preventing its loss.
This discovery theoretically makes it possible "to count" from the human brain entire memory. Subsequently the obtained information can be will "shaken" into the memory of robot, after obtaining thus the copy of man. Not body, but consciousness.
