On the second day, the researchers put the mouse in a completely different environment where it was subjected to electroshock. At the same time, they identified and stimulated the brain cells which kept the previous memory to bring it back.<\/p>\n
On the next day, the mouse was put in the first environment. As a result, it felt uncomfortable and cringed in fear, which means that it was expecting the electroshock though it never took place in this environment<\/b>.<\/p>\n
The question of why the brain creates false memories<\/b> has not been answered yet, but it\u2019s a fact that this phenomenon is real and can happen to everyone. Nobody knows whether the brain creates such detailed false images and scenes due to the natural tendency of humans to envision<\/b> or if it is just an unexplained process that occurs in the human brain…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
