Researchers have gained new understanding on the workings of amnesia through research that used light to revive lost memories in mice, a study reports.

Amnesia remains a controversial subject in the field of neuroscience, with some researchers arguing that it occurs when cells are damaged and memory cannot be stored, while others believe that the memories are simply blocked and cannot be recalled.
