Manipulating Memory???

 Two scientists from MIT suggest that they have discovered a means by which memories can be pinpointed and manipulated in living mice by shooting a laser beam into their brains. As you watch this interesting and entertaining talk (these two scientists are actually engaging) note the number of concepts mentioned that you have discussed in your Psychology and Human Biology courses (ie. memory formation, brain anatomy, receptors, stimuli).

Can you imagine if we were able to do this sort of thing in the human brain???
