- Scientists Make Mice “Remember” Things That Didn’t Happen
Researchers manipulate mouse neurons to create a false memory; the work could lead to a better understanding of how memories form.
Scientists have created a false memory in mice by manipulating neurons that bear the memory of a place. The work further demonstrates just how unreliable memory can be. It also lays new ground for understanding the cell behavior and circuitry that controls memory, and could one day help researchers discover new ways to treat mental illnesses influenced by memory.
