Steve Ramirez and Xu Liu: A mouse. A laser beam. A manipulated memory.

The video explores the concept of memory manipulation through neuroscience, focusing on the potential to activate, edit, and erase memories using optogenetics. The speakers share personal anecdotes and describe experiments conducted on mice to demonstrate memory activation and control. They discuss the ethical implications and future possibilities of such research, emphasizing the need for public discourse on the topic.

In what ways do the researchers suggest memory can be edited?

What was the outcome of the experiment involving the blue and red boxes?

What are the potential implications of being able to erase or alter memories?

What future possibilities do the researchers envision for memory manipulation?
