Inception of a false memory by optogenetic manipulation of a hippocampal memory engram

Inception of a false memory by optogenetic manipulation of a hippocampal memory engram

Memories can be easily distorted, and a lack of relevant animal models has largely hindered our understanding of false-memory formation. Here, we first identified a population of cells in the dentate gyrus (DG) of the hippocampus that bear the engrams for a specific context; these cells were natural...
