ARTIFICIAL LIFE (A-LIFE): the world's first artificial cell was created by Venter in 2010, a monumental landmark; Venter's audacious dream of "creating new life forms that never existed before" is now feasible. For him, this means useful bugs that can make biofuels or degrade toxic pollutants. But it could include more bizarre Lego Life Forms, limited only by our imaginations. View in LinkedIn

MEMORY DELETION may not be so simple, at least using one molecule dubbed the "memory engine". While it could be beneficial to patients recovering from extreme traumas to delete a memory, long term memory has proved to be less fragile and more complex a system. Columbia's Eric Kandel (Nobel for memory) is more sanguine about the plasticity of memories. And some recent drug studies show they can be deleted. " " http://lnkd.in/CW2qBB via @ngphenomena.

MEMORY IMPLANTS have been demonstrated in mice, affirming a long held theory that memories may be manipulated. Genetically modified mice had neurons that could be light activated, generating a false memory trace. " " @TechReview">http://techre.vu/17G6xCq >@TechReview View in LinkedIn
