Scientists figure out how to write memories to fruit fly brains

franky on table Scientists figure out how to write memories to fruit fly brains

Call us crazy, but we’re guessing one Gero Miesenböck of the University of Oxford has been watching just a wee bit too much Fringe.

Gero, along with a few of his over-anxious colleagues, has seemingly figured out a way to actually write memories onto a fruit fly’s brain using only a laser pen and three-fourths of a Ouija board. We know what you’re thinking, and we’re thinking the same.

But all terrifying thoughts aside, what if boffins could burn memories of hard lessons learned into our minds without us having to suffer through them first?
