For this, they now played the tone but administered the protein inhibitors in the mice and to their amazement, the mice showed no signs of fear. They had successfully deleted the memories of the mice.
What was the process for this? Did they administer the protein inhibitor in a targeted area? At the same time as the tone played? Before? How did they target the specific memory of the tone and shock?
As far as I understood, the inhibitors were given just before or just after the sound was played in order to target the particular memory that, that sound invokes in the rats. I am not sure about the targeted area though.
