Cells Keep Score: Memory Not Only In The Brain

Send us Fan MailDiscover the revolutionary finding that memory isn't just for brain cells anymore. In this episode, we explore groundbreaking research from NYU that reveals how cells throughout your body can learn and remember, just like neurons. We'll break down how this discovery could transform our approach to learning, disease treatment, and human enhancement. From diabetes to cancer therapy, understanding cellular memory opens up exciting new possibilities for medical breakthroughs. Join us as we investigate how spacing out learning works even at the cellular level, and what this means for the future of medicine and education.The massed-spaced learning effect in non-neural human cells: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-53922-xMemories Are Not Only in the Brain:  https://www.nyu.edu/about/news-publications/news/2024/november/memories-are-not-only-in-the-brain--new-research-finds.htmlThis is Heliox: Where Evidence Meets EmpathyIndependent, moderated, timely, deep, gentle, clinical, global, and community conversations about things that matter.  Breathe Easy, we go deep and lightly surface the big ideas.
