potential to make horrific memories blase. I see this as a potential use for military snipers and assasins, being able to avoid PTSD or emotions that would interfere with carrying out orders.

                is currently focused on propranolol, one of several so-called 
                beta blockers widely used to reduce blood pressure, treat 
                abnormal heart rhythms and prevent migraines. The brand name for 
                propranolol is Inderal. Other beta blocker brand names are 
                Inderide, Innopran XL, Betachron E-R, Kerlone, Lopressor, 
                Tenormin, Toprol XL, Visken and Zebeta. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.cognitiveliberty.org/neuro/memory_drugs_sd.html"><FONT face="Verdana" size="2">Beta blockers work by 
                "blocking" the stimulative influence of stress hormones – 
                specifically adrenaline – upon the body, relaxing blood vessels 
                and slowing nerve impulses inside the heart. </FONT></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.cognitiveliberty.org/neuro/memory_drugs_sd.html"><FONT face="Verdana" size="2">Experiments indicate 
                propranolol also blocks the effect of adrenaline upon areas of 
                the brain involved in memory formation, including the amygdala. 
                It seems to disconnect emotion from memory. </FONT></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.cognitiveliberty.org/neuro/memory_drugs_sd.html">a third group of volunteers who were given a standard dose of 
                propranolol or endurol (another beta blocker). Their memories, 
                when tested three weeks later, were "just like that of subjects 
                who had received the boring story," said McGaugh. </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/2D824551-AA6C-4990-86B9-A0179FAF8576/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
