I hope these brain memory neurons are available to purchase within 3 to 5 years.... maybe then I'll remember names, faces, and what I just ran upstairs to get.

Now, just to temper your excitement, we should note that MIT’s subjects in this case are mice — but it’s very, very likely that the human brain functions in the same way. To perform this experiment, though, MIT had to breed genetically engineered mice with optogenetic neurons — and we’re a long, long way off breeding humans with optogenetic brains.

Stupid lab mice get all the breaks.
