The Japanese found a way to erase memory from the brain and that's good

Scientists in Japan showed that shining blue light on specific brain connections can weaken or erase a learned motor memory.

When the blue laser is activated, the memory “branches” shrink, erasing acquired skills, and these changes are concentrated in about 10–20% of nearby neurons.

Scientists estimate that this method could affect hundreds of thousands of tiny connecting points, enough to remove one memory without affecting the others.

This points to a future where we can erase harmful memories or trauma with high precision.

They created a blue light that can shrink the precise connections of the brain, where memory lives.

This points to a future where we can erase memories from our minds with precision.
