28、n, meaning they forget things like important appointments or where they left their keys. But it seems that these memories are not lost. They are still filed away in the brain somewhere; they just cant be easily accessed. Now, researchers at MIT have developed a means of getting back memories in mice

29、 suffering from Alzheimers. The method relies on a technique that uses light to control genetically modified neurons (转基因神经元). Currently it is too early to be used in human trials as it involves inserting light emitting (发光) equipment into the subjects brains, but the same principles still apply, th

30、e researchers said. “The important point is that this is evidence of concept. That is, even if a memory seems to be gone, it is still there.

31、 and one healthy. They then placed them into a room and gave them a mild electric shock. All of the mice showed fear when put back in an hour later. When placed in the room a third time several days later, the Alzheimers mice acted normally. They had forgotten the shock. The researchers were then ab

32、le to bring back the memory of the shock by activating (激活) the cells in which the memories were stored.

41、pards, buffaloes and lions. The international draw of these animals matters a lot because the nations economy is tied to the protection of its wildlife. If Kenyas wildlife disappears, so does its second-largest source of income.Wildlife protection efforts in Kenya meant marking off land exclusively(

42、专门地)for animals. But it also meant that the people who had originally lived in the area were forced to leave their land and into smaller surrounding areas.
