NYU Study Reveals Kidney and Nerve Cells Exhibit Memory Abilities, Expanding Neuroscience Understanding
Nov 10, 2024, 12:15 AM
Recent research from New York University has revealed that memory processes may extend beyond traditional brain cells, suggesting that other cell types, such as kidney and nerve cells, possess memory capabilities. This study indicates that these non-brain cells can respond to repeated stimuli in a manner similar to brain cells, potentially broadening the understanding of learning and memory mechanisms in neuroscience. The findings challenge the long-held belief that memory is exclusive to the brain, opening new avenues for research into cellular memory functions.
