\"\"Associate Professor of Psychological & Brain Sciences Steve Ramirez\u2019s new book, <\/span>How to Change a Memory<\/span><\/i><\/a>, explores memory manipulation: how scientists find the cells that encode memories and rewire our recollection of the past. A blend of neuroscience and Ramirez\u2019s experience on the frontline of cutting-edge research, <\/span>How to Change a Memory<\/span><\/i> offers insight into \u201cthe human side of science.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWriting this book was one of the hardest and most rewarding projects I\u2019ve taken on,\u201d said Ramirez (CAS\u201910). \u201cI\u2019m most excited about the possibility of connecting with people on a very human level and showing that memory neuroscience isn\u2019t just about neurons firing in the lab\u2014it\u2019s about how those neurons shape the very fabric of our lives.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Change a Memory<\/span><\/i> is available for pre-order and will be released on Nov. 4th.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
