Manipulating Mice Memories

The video discusses the manipulation of specific memories in mice, focusing on the mechanisms that determine memory encoding in brain cells. By targeting these cells, researchers can bias memory allocation and inactivate specific memories. The video highlights an experiment where mice were given two memories, and one was selectively inactivated. Techniques using light allow for precise control over memory activation and deactivation, demonstrating the potential to manipulate memory in animals.

What is the significance of the amygdala in the context of memory manipulation as described in the text?

How does the use of light play a role in the manipulation of memories in mice?
