Recently, a group of researchers from RIKEN-MIT Center for Neural Circuit Genetics have carried out research. In the research, the study researchers have implanted false memories into mice.

The study has been published in the Science. Study researchers were of the view that they made certain changes to a network of neurons and that made mice remember unpleasant environment.

Study researchers said that put in use the technique known as optogenetics. As per this technique, optic fibres were implanted in the brains of mice. Experts said that it s a technique in which neurons responds to light.

Researcher Xu Liu was of the view that when mice recalled the false memory then it was not possible for them to differentiate between real and false. Similar to mice, human memory is present in cells. So, whenever, a part of memory is recalled then human tries to recollect every bit of that incident.

Dr. Liu said that this activity is quite similar to assembling of puzzles. "In the English language there are only 26 letters, but the combinations of letters make unlimited words and sentences, this is also true for memories", said Dr Liu.

Dr Liu concluded that if one wants to know about any particular memory then he has to reach at the cell level.
