Overview
While most neuroscientists once believed that implicit memories, avoidance reactions, and rigid schemas were locked permanently in the brain's synaptic pathways, recent brain research shows that, under certain conditions and within a brief timeframe, we can not only unlock these neural pathways, but actually erase them and substitute new learning. Since before our oldest hominid ancestors walked the earth, our nervous systems were biologically wired to keep fully alive the memory circuits of learned threat and danger for the duration of our lives, guaranteeing that we won't ignore cues to potentially perilous situations that could threaten our survival.
