Neuroscientists uncover how the brain forgets unwanted memories

Steve Ramirez, a neuroscientist at Boston University, is pioneering research on how memories can be artificially created, modified, or erased, with potential applications for treating PTSD and neurodegenerative diseases. His experiments with mice demonstrate the ability to implant false memories and manipulate existing ones, laying the groundwork for future human therapies and a deeper understanding of memory's malleability.
