Lost in the result of brain injury memory continues to be stored in the human mind, and it can be restored. These are the conclusions of researchers who were experimenting on mice. In this experiments, it was found that in animals with amnesia memory was restored at the sight of a certain color. This is the first time scientists were able to suppress the memory, and then return it back.

the study was focused on retrograde amnesia, which affects the ability to transfer memories after brain injury. If the success of scientists will find confirmation in the case of men, injured in an accident, for example, will be able to remember the events that preceded the accident.

In the study, a group of scientists prepared two groups of mice. In one of the cages rodents received average power of the electrical discharge. Under normal conditions the animals remember that cage and feel the shock every time appear in it. If after that the mouse was faced with memory loss, then the next time it enters into a "torture cell," she will not submit the form that was already there.

Researchers have changed in some animals engramma brain cells by adding proteins that are sensitive to blue light. As a result, when the impact of rodents with altered cells, once in "the cage" torture, fell into a stupor, thus demonstrating its not the most pleasant memories about the experiments of scientists. This suggests that at amnesia memory is not lost completely but continues to be stored in the brain of mice. Moreover, when certain conditions it may recover.
