Mouse Inception
French neuroscientists have successfully implanted false memories into the brains of sleeping mice, which then altered their behavior upon waking. Using electrode stimulation, the researchers targeted the section of the brain that affects the mice’s recognition of rewards, associating specific locations with some kind benefit. Compared to their control counterparts, the mice implanted with artificial memories were found gravitate toward locations linked to their newly implanted memories.
