Abstract

The concept of removing emotions of abuse locked in perineuronal strings represents a novel approach to addressing the long-term psychological effects of trauma. Perineuronal nets (PNNs), specialized structures in the brain, have been implicated in the storage of emotional memories associated with abuse and trauma. This abstract explores emerging research on techniques aimed at disrupting or removing these memories from PNNs, thereby alleviating the emotional burden experienced by survivors of abuse. By understanding the neurobiological mechanisms underlying the storage and retrieval of traumatic memories, researchers hope to develop targeted interventions that offer relief and healing to individuals affected by past trauma.
