article_snippet: Experts have found that when this replay process is disrupted in rodents, so too is Experts ability to remember what Experts learned – for example, a new area that Experts explored – the previous day, New Scientist reported.
article_snippet: Scientists from the Industrial Physics and Chemistry Higher Educational Institution in Paris, France, used this replay process to create new memories in the brains of mice, while Scientists from the Industrial Physics and Chemistry Higher Educational Institution in Paris, France slept.

article_snippet: It’s the first time that false memories have been observed in non-human animals.
article_snippet: Professor Lars Chittka, from QMUL’s School of Biological and Chemical Sciences, said: ‘That people form false memories is well understood
article_snippet: There are a lot of similarities between our own memories and those of other animals.
article_snippet: The more our know about the way that memory works in the animal kingdom the more we’ll be able to understand we own memory and the problems we have with it.
article_snippet: While this is the first time a conscious memory has been implanted during sleep, experts have already managed to create subconscious associations in the minds of sleeping people –
