Abstract in brief
The study used optogenetics to activate specific hippocampal neurons involved in fear memory in mice, demonstrating that stimulating these neurons can trigger the recall of fear (freezing behavior).
The results showed that reactivating neurons tagged during fear learning caused mice to freeze only when the neurons were stimulated with light, confirming that this activation is sufficient to induce fear memory recall in a specific context.
This research suggests that memory recall can be artificially triggered by targeting a small group of neurons encoding that memory, and provides a method for identifying and manipulating memory engrams in the brain.]

Engram: A bottom-up approach proposed activated spines clustered on a dendritic branch (https://t.co/2DCBHxlNe8) & a top-down approach reached the engram cells (https://t.co/JZtrwGlQKk). The semblance hypothesis has proposed what is there between the spines and spiking neurons.

@GABOERGICO @MONTEROCANAE @miltonmuriIIo @mcvergara21 Y se puede evidenciar de como se activa toda una vía de miedo a partir de estimular las neuronas que desde el hipotalamo (memoria) desencadenan el proceso. Recordar es vivir. https://t.co/zN1XW0Ajix 12/n
