玛德琳·芬利采访了波士顿大学心理学与脑科学副教授史蒂夫·拉米雷兹。
他的著作《如何改变记忆》入围了今年英国皇家学会特里维迪科学图书奖的候选名单。
Madeleine Finlay hears from Steve Ramirez, an associate professor of psychological and brain sciences at Boston University, whose book How to Change a Memory was shortlisted for this year’s Royal Society Trivedi science book prize.
拉米雷兹详细介绍了科学家如何在啮齿类动物的大脑中定位记忆、人为触发甚至消除这些记忆，并阐述了这项技术未来可能给人类带来的实际应用价值。
He explains how scientists have been able to locate memories in the brains of rodents, trigger them artificially and even remove them, and reveals what the practical applications of this science could one day be for humans.
