New Study Reveals Memories Stored Beyond the Brain

A groundbreaking study published in Nature Communications reveals that non-brain cells, such as those from kidney and nerve tissues, can form memories similarly to neurons. Researchers at New York University demonstrated that these cells activate a "memory gene" when exposed to spaced chemical signals, challenging the belief that memory is exclusive to brain cells. This discovery opens new avenues for understanding memory and could lead to advancements in learning enhancement and treatment of memory-related conditions.
