Has there been much research on induced amnesia through electronic or pharmaceutical means?

How about selectively administered amnesia, like the neuralizers on men in black?Has there been much research on induced amnesia through electronic or pharmaceutical means?
drugs for inducing amnesia, or amnesiacs like midazolam and flunitrazepam are used in medical procedures in which the patient can not be put fully under anesthesia.

Actually all they do is prevent memories from being transfered from short term storage to long term storage while the drug is being used. They will not erase old memories and after the drug is worn off everything goes back to normal. So basically the drug just makes you forget everything while you are on the drug.

Using any electronic device like they sometimes do in the movies to induce amnesia would be very dangerous and sketchy.



Amnesia really doesn't work the way its popularly portrayed on tv and movies. Inducing amnesia could be dangerous, even deadly if improperly done.



I would say with our current technology, the men in black neutralizers are not possible, or too dangerous to use.Has there been much research on induced amnesia through electronic or pharmaceutical means?
Someone else already gave a more specific answer as to pharmaceutical use of amnesiatic drugs. I would like to add that one of the most commen side effects of electro-shock therapy is a loss of memory of the events directly before the therapy session. Recipiants of such sessions daily for a number of days often complain of things like having to keep re-reading the same passage in the book over and over again, because they can not retain what they read.

General anesthesia (GA) usually induces a profound amnesia as well as pain blockage. GA has been highly well studied.
