You obviously haven't read it very carefully. The team
investigated the differences between the formation of true and
false memories and reported:

"The new findings directly showed that different brain areas are
critical for accurate memories for visual objects than for false
remembering - for forming a memory for an imagined object that
is later remembered as a perceived object. The neuroanatomical
evidence furthermore sheds light on the mental mechanisms
responsible for forming accurate memories versus false
memories."
