A team at MIT was able to tap into the areas of the hippocampus that have to do with the mouse is memory, by tapping into it they were able to use optogenetics to stimulate false memories. This has huge implications, it tells me that they’re able to not only erase memories but create them as well, this isn’t all bad but it’s not necessarily all good. If you have post traumatic stress disorder they can target the different neurons that are associated with that memory and pretty much get rid of it, on the other hand they can implant false memories in your mind making you think you’re a government spy or an obedient citizen. Either way this kind of research can lead to a very shocking chain of events, either it can do good things for the world of depression by erasing very traumatic events from a person’s memory or it can cause a person to lose their identity altogether. It realistically just depends on which way they want to go with it, at the end of the day this kind of technology can easily take over the world. If you implant this in the right people and put them in a position of power you essentially have control over the majority of the country. Implant Memories inception is reality

Through extensive research that has been going on for about 10 to 15 years, scientists have found a way to implant electrodes in the brain that stimulate regeneration and growth of long-term memory without the use of the hippocampus. They have essentially bypassed the hippocampus altogether and are able to stimulate growth naturally within the brain, this means that the Alzheimer’s disease would have no chance of destroying a person’s short term and long-term memory. It’s amazing how far this technology has come in such a short time, the deadline continuously gets moved up. At first it was supposed to come out in 2030 now it has been moved up to 2021 predictions of it being moved up to 2015 or 16 have already come out. Once this technology is on the market we can see the actual effects it will have. We might be able to wipe out Alzheimer’s right now, not to mention pretty much guaranteed that the future generations will not have Alzheimer’s disease.Drug Addiction and Nanotechnology
Scientists are using nanotechnology as a way to deliver a nano particles or a major drug directly to the gene that’s critical in addition. Apparently they narrowed it down and found that there is a gene specifically that is triggered when a person becomes addicted to a substance, because of this they can deliver drugs directly to that gene and therefore fight addiction, that way people don’t have to get over it through constant talking and therapy, will be able to take a injection and no longer be alcoholics. At least that’s the future of this type of medicine the difference between it being in nano particle than just being a regular pill is the nano particles can directly introduced the drugs to the gene instead of spreading it throughout the body which could be harmful, we might see a generation of people that are no longer addicted to crack cocaine and heroine and various other drugs.
