Inducing amnesia through systemic suppression

In a recent issue of Nature Communications, we show that suppressing past events induces an “amnesic shadow” for experiences near in time to suppression, consistent with a global disruption to hippocampal function.

The work has been featured in the Guardian and other press outlets, highlighted in Nature and by the Cognitive Neuroscience Society, and discussed in numerous science blogs.

Lab Mission

The Memory Dynamics Lab, part of the Neuroscience Program at Bates College, works to harness the mechanisms responsible for adaptively acquiring, retrieving, consolidating, and forgetting memories through cognitive neuroscience (including the study of human brainwaves and behavior while awake and asleep). In doing so, we aim to distill and disseminate strategies designed to help learners capitalize on these mental operations, allowing them to better remember when/what they want to remember and forget when/what they want to forget.
