Peggy, thanks for your comment. I had the same impression. Do you have a reference for more information on this?

I would like to inform the researches of this study to stick to mice. Manipulation of memories is a kind of mind theft and can change form without transformation creating more trauma. PTSD is a highly complex, difficult human reaction to violence and destruction. Memories are like the humaness of all else that is humanly sacred and needs to be regarded with respect and dignity.

The Dream Master (1966), originally published as a novella titled He Who Shapes, is a science-fiction novel by Roger Zelazny. In neuroparticipation, the patient is hooked into a gigantic simulation controlled directly by the analyst’s mind; the analyst then works with the patient to construct dreams—nightmares, wish-fulfillment, etc.–that afford insight into the underlying neuroses of the patient, and in some cases the possibility of direct intervention.

I don’t smoke weed but I fully support legalization. I’ve never really met a hateful angry pothead. Seriously. It must have medicinal qualities. Why wouldn’t it? Many other plants do.

Actually it happens that Cannabis treatment is the best cure for PTSD. That I can be testified from intimate knowledge. But allas the whole pharma industry and consequently the whole medical industry is after that almost panachea natural grass and the corrupted FDA and the insane War against Cannabis the US is leading. Be aware about that.

The control group should’ve had this drug too. Having them come through desensitization procedure instead of having drug makes them bad as control, and the result tells us kind of nothing. Maybe it’s not about sleep but drug.

So a mouses response to a paired shock with a smell, can be equated to, lets say the stress of combat? Psychiatrists are a joke. I work with PTSD patients all the time, and they have complex memories that involve INTERPRETATION of the event and the remembered event. Mouse tears my ass.
