  Many people have memories they’d like to forget. This professor is working to do that — kind of

  April 7, 2026

  Ramirez said there are two main goals of his lab: to try to understand the biology of how we learn and how we remember; and to try to artificially activate or inactivate memories to see what that tells us about how the brain works, in an effort to restore health back to the brain. Ramirez spoke with The Show to talk about — in layperson’s terms — how one goes about trying to adjust people’s memories.

  Steve Ramirez: Forget about it

  February 3, 2026

    Experiments with mice have shown it’s possible to tinker with and even erase a memory. The goal for neuroscience now is to apply the science to help people struggling with PTSD and other mentally crippling memories.

  ‘Memory manipulation is inevitable’: How rewriting memory in the lab might one day heal humans

  December 27, 2025

  We often think of memories like the contents of a museum: static exhibits that we view to understand the present and prepare for the future. The latest research, however, suggests they are more like well-thumbed library books that wear and change a little bit every time they’re pulled off the shelf.

  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.
