Renew your rodent's recall

So apparently researchers have been able to erase traumatic memories from the minds of mice, by manipulating one protein...
So naturally as a Supervillain, I immediately thought; Okay. Of mice and so what of men?
How much longer will it be until we can manipulate people's minds, forming them into the perfect passive minions we've always wanted?
Imagine being able to wipe the slate clean with your wife; she'll never know how often you've forgotten your anniversary - you could make her forget you've even had an anniversary!
Or your previously disgruntled staff will forget about what a cheap-skate boss you've been, or how those bonuses you mentioned, never got paid.
You could turn your naughty kids into obedient little angels within a single day, or maybe even erase that memory of your bad first impression with that hottie you met at the bar...
There's so much potential here; especially for gullible 'super heroes'...
"Now if you'll just step into this little machine please. Hold still while I put this device over your head and jab you with this little needle. You'll be out in no time!"
