Rats that voluntarily use cocaine show a persistent cellular memory in the brain’s reward center even after several months of abstinence from the drug, while their involuntary counterparts had no such ...

For decades, scientists have focused on the brain as the primary location for memory storage and processing. However, recent groundbreaking research from is challenging this long-standing assumption, ...

When does that seasonal suntan become a risk for melanoma? At what point could those extra pounds trigger diabetes? Could severe head injuries tip one over into Alzheimer’s disease? In the larger ...

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* pre-print server, researchers evaluated the humoral and cellular immune memory induced by four coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines representing three ...

Traditionally, memory has been considered a function exclusive to the brain. However, groundbreaking research led by Dr. Nikolay Kukushkin at New York University (NYU) reveals that non-neural human ...

When we form a memory, brain cells need to deliver supplies to strengthen specific neural connections. A new study from MPFI and Weill Cornell Medicine has revealed how two cellular switches, Rab4 and ...

How do fetal cells know what cell types to become? Why do cells in the adult body sometimes forget what they are and develop into cancer cells? These are some of the questions intensively investigated ...

Over 37 years ago, when Dr Christiaan Barnard performed the first heart transplant surgery on Louis Washkansky, a 53-year-old ...

Groundbreaking research from NYU reveals non-neural human cells can remember chemical signals. This challenges the long-held belief that only the brain stores memories. Cells exposed to spaced signals ...
