  Memories Change. But Can We Change Them On Purpose?

  November 14, 2025

  Neuroscientist Steve Ramirez joins Host Ira Flatow to explain how memory manipulation could revolutionize the way we treat brain disorders. They also discuss Ramirez’s book, How to Change a Memory: One Neuroscientist’s Quest to Alter the Past, and how the sudden death of his friend and scientific collaborator made him rethink the role of memory.

  Science Fiction Descriptions of Memory Manipulation May Become a Reality

  October 28, 2025

  During the last 30 years, Steve Ramirez indicates, neuroscientists have brought that wish closer to a reality. We now understand how and where our brains receive, store, and retrieve memories. Through a process called optogenetics, scientists use pulses of light with millisecond resolution to control neural activity in mammalian cells, edit memories and even create them from scratch.
