18、tting back memories in mice suffering from Alzheimers.The method relies on a technique that uses light to control genetically modified neurons (转基因神经元). Currently it is too early to be used in human trials as it involves inserting light emitting (发光) equipment into the subjects brains, but the same
19、principles still apply, the researchers said.“The important point is that this is evidence of concept. That is, even if a memory seems to be gone, it is still there.

You can get an overall view of what the whole class thinks,” William says.“People are always pushing new techno
