For years neuroscientists have focused on the brain’s neurons as its principal creators of memory and thought. But what if the reason for our cognitive abilities isn’t in the electrical activity of ...

Memories can form outside of the brain, according to new research. Non-brain cells exposed to chemical pulses similar to the ones that brain cells are exposed to when presented with new ...

A measles infection feeds on these memory cells. Vaccines, in contrast, stimulate the production of memory B and T cells without consuming others in the process.

Some B cells also turn into plasma cells, which serve one purpose: to create antibodies, including the provoker of allergies, IgE. In order to cause an allergic reaction, a certain amount of IgE ...

The memory of this disease is written in the cells: research published on November 18 in the journal Nature has described, in mouse models and in human cells, a molecular mechanism in fatty tissue ...

Additionally, the researchers examined the molecular switch that underlies flexible memory formation in these cells. They learned that this switch acts on the key memory regulatory gene Tcf7 ...

Research shows in real time how immune memory cells are stored in the bone marrow. Download PDF Copy; Reviewed. Reviewed by Emily Henderson, B.Sc. Oct 28 2022.

Highlights: Learning and memory are not functions of just brain, other cells also have memory; Memory can be retained for a longer when learned in a spaced-interval manner ...

Most people who lose weight through dieting will see it creep back up, leading to a cycle of "yo-yo dieting" that's hard on the body. A new study suggests fat cells keep a memory of previous ...

As a postdoctoral fellow, Martinez-Gonzalez investigated the memory potential of another innate immune cell, type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), which are activated by interleukin (IL)-33 and play ...

To understand when T cells decide to form memories about pathogens, the researchers used transcriptomic data and real-time, live imaging to observe the cells over the trajectory of their entire ...
