Kidney And Nerve Cells Can Form Memories, Not Just The Brain: Study
A groundbreaking study by New York University (NYU) reveals that memory formation isnt limited to brain cells but may occur in various body cells, altering our understanding of memory.

Memories Are Not Limited to Brain, New Study Claims
A study from NYU reveals that kidney and nerve cells can perform memory-like functions, suggesting memory capabilities are not restricted to the brain. By replicating a spaced learning process, scientists observed memory gene activation in these non-neural cells, expanding possibilities for enhancing learning and treating memory-related health issu...

Largest Brain Map Ever Reveals 140,000 Neurons and New Nerve Cell Types in Fruit Fly Brain
A new brain map of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster reveals nearly 140,000 neurons and over 54.5 million synapses. Led by neuroscientists Mala Murthy and Sebastian Seung, the research has uncovered 4,581 previously unknown types of neurons. The project took over four years to complete, relying on AI-assisted electron microscopy.

What Is Frontotemporal Dementia? All About Bruce Willis' Diagnosis
Frontotemporal dementia is a common cause of dementia, is a group of disorders that occur when nerve cells in the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain are lost.

Parkinson’s Disease Might Find Potential Treatment in These Designer Neurons
A new research suggests potential treatment for Parkinson's disease which involves non-neuronal cells and their transformation. Once they change into neurons, they can stay in the brain and do the regular functions like linking to other nerve cells making the neural tissue, forming synapses, and dispensing dopamine. These cells would help repair th...

IIT-Mandi Researchers Show The Possible Role Of Signal Peptide Aggregation On Alzheimer’s Disease
Alzheimer’s disease is linked with the deposition of misfolded peptides called amyloid ß42 (Aß42) in the spaces between nerve cells

Study Identifies Risk For Some Childhood Cancer Patients Developing Secondary Leukaemia
As per study, children with neuroblastoma - a cancer of immature nerve cells - treatment with platinum chemotherapy caused changes to the genome that could then cause leukaemia in some children later on.

Vitamin B-12 Deficiency: Signs, Symptoms And Foods To Eat To Avoid The Condition
Vitamin B-12 is a water-soluble vitamin that, unfortunately, is not made by the body. This vitamin is crucial for brain health, nerve tissue health, and the formation of red blood cells.

Hence Proved! Stress Can Cause Greying Of Hair
Grey hair causes: The study found that stress activates nerves that are part of the fight-or-flight response, which in turn cause permanent damage to pigment-regenerating stem cells in hair follicles.

Epilepsy And Seizures: Top Causes, Symptoms And Treatment Options
Epilepsy is a kind of seizure disorder. Seizures are defined as aberrant movements in the body due to the chaotic ejection of nerve cells of the brain. Read here to know more about their causes, symptoms and treatment options.
