Engram

What you can ask with a switch like that is a different class of question, not which region lights up when the animal is afraid, which is correlation, but if I force these cells to fire, does the fear come back, which is cause.

The 2012 Ngram experiment is the cleanest public version.

Mice learned a place paired with a foot shock.

The hippocampal cells active during that learning were tagged with Chanelrhodopsin-2.

It is quieter on the mess of whole life, which is where the philosophy starts and should not be rushed.

We used to talk about memory as if it were a story the mind keeps in a drawer.

The Ngram experiment does not make the story false.

It makes the jaw physical.

Everybody starts screaming even louder, even faster.

Engram on you! Engram on you! Engram on you! Engram on you! Engram on you!

And the blue egg comes out of the slit into the king in yellow's hands, and he turns back in front of the crowd, and he holds the egg above his head.

And in that moment, your vision blends with reality with Father Yad Tu standing there as the egg cracks over the king in yellow's head, and a viscous... blob falls out over his head it looks like a three foot by three foot slab of black liver and it flops onto him that

And my view is to understand the brain, we need to understand how it develops.

And we're seeing a lot more interest in developmental cognitive neuroscience for many different quarters, including in my own field, in the Ngram field.

So I think those are the things that are exciting me most at present.

And does neuroscience look very different now from maybe at the beginning of your career?

I was like, that's amazing.

He still could have had surgery if he needed it and would have healed better for the lack of that Engram.

But the Engram had just been triggered by something and was just super active.

making him re-experience the pain of that experience.

I was like, okay, well, there you go.
