Researchers Implant False Memories In Mice
sciencehabit writes "Call it 'Total Recall' for mice. A group of neuroscientists say that they've identified a potential mechanism of false memory creation and have planted such a memory in the brain of a mouse. With this knowledge, neuroscientists can start to figure out how many neurons it takes to give us the perception of what's around us and what goes on in our neural wiring when we remember—or misremember—the past."
... not a single comment of concern for the suffering these animals go through - but then, a sociopath can't feel the suffering of others, he can only PRETEND to feel it, like the majority of the Slashdot posters here.
This 'research' is a massive fraud, because clearly mice brains are completely different to human brains, and it's yet another example of vivisectionists torturing animals for no reason, just so they can get more funding. Just look at the pathetic comments above - not ONE person actually thought, even for a second, about the hell that these animals go through. But then, they're 'just mice', and we sociopathic humans are SO much better than them - after all, WE say so!
Rather like the Jews calling themselves 'God's chosen people' - how modest.
Self praise is no recommendation.
