implanted

Put inside tissue

Implanted describes something that has been inserted or embedded, typically into living tissue.

A pacemaker is implanted in the chest; a microchip may be implanted under the skin.

The word extends to ideas or beliefs fixed deeply in the mind: Values implanted in childhood tend to persist.

An implanted memory is one suggested rather than genuinely recalled.
