In science fiction films like Men in Black and Total Recall, characters can have their memories wiped clean with a push of a button. But that's just sci-fi, right? Wrong!
Memories aren't just intangible - they're physical connections in our brains. And now scientists are developing procedures that could allow us to do some amazing things with memory. In the future it might be possible to erase bad memories, and return good memories to people who have lost them!
Do you find this kind of scientific research to be exciting or scary? Let us know what you think and explain your answer in the comments below!
