blowingfact on Instagram: "In a ground-breaking experiment, scientists at Kyoto University have figured out how to erase memories — at least in mice. Using optogenetics (a method that uses light to control brain activity), they were able to target and switch off the exact neurons tied to specific negative memories — wiping them clean without affecting any other brain functions.
This breakthrough could completely change how we treat PTSD, phobias, and even addiction.
Instead of simply managing trauma, doctors could one day delete its root cause — removing painful memories at their source, without invasive surgery or heavy medication. The future of mental health might not just be about healing… but rewriting your brain’s story entirely. #study #science #scientist"
