01New research finds that memory exists not only in the brainXinhua News Agency reported that recently, the United StatesResearchers from New York University have studied two types of non brain cells in humans: one from neural tissue and the other from kidney tissue.Research has found that,These non brain cells are capable of recognizing repetitive patterns of chemical pulses. When pulses are sent in intervals, they activate more strongly than sending the same number of pulses at onceThe 'memory gene' has a longer activation duration. This phenomenon is similar to the learning and memory abilities of neurons in the brain,This indicates that non brain cells also possess learning and memory functions.
researchercall，This study suggests that learning ability is not unique to brain cells, but may be a fundamental characteristic of all cells,This opens up new avenues for understanding the process of memory formation and brings new possibilities for treating diseases related to memory.
