In the final part of the experiment, the team placed the mice back in the first chamber. The mice froze, demonstrating a typical fear response, even though they had never been shocked while there. "We call this 'incepting' or implanting false memories in a mouse brain," Tonagawa told Science.
:eek:

I know! Isn't it awesome! ...And terrifying.

And I'm still waiting on my jetpack. The future's always a little disappointing...

Eh, we missed jetpacks, got the internet. Fair trade. I think the last couple of years have been pretty exciting, though.

I wonder. The specific research dealt with a conditioned fear response, but maybe you could actually attenuate phobias with a similar mechanism.
