STUDIU. „Fantomele” amintirilor uitate pot rămâne în creier. Cercetătorii au recuperat amintiri la musculițe de oțet și au observat cum pot apărea amintirile false – Aleph News

Researchers found that fruit flies retain a 'silent memory trace' that can be reactivated under certain conditions, revealing insights into memory retrieval processes. The study indicates that forgotten memories may persist in a hidden state and can be triggered by recreating original contexts. However, this process can also lead to the formation of false memories, as different neural pathways are involved. The findings suggest that memory retrieval is complex and context-dependent, although the mechanisms in fruit flies may not directly apply to human memory.
