Abi-Rached, Joelle M. and Dudai, Yadin (2009) The implications of memory research and ‘memory erasers’: a conversation with Yadin Dudai. BioSocieties, 4 (1). pp. 79-90. ISSN 1745-8552
Abstract
In this conversation, the world-renowned neurobiologist Yadin Dudai discusses the latest advances in memory research, specifically the discovery of memory ‘erasure’ associated with the inhibition of an enzyme called PKMzeta. The conversation tackles the reductionist method in scientific inquiry, the mind/brain dilemma, the problematics of animal models in memory research, and the therapeutic implications of this groundbreaking discovery.
