A growing body of research is challenging the long-held assumption that memory and awareness belong exclusively to the brain. Scientists working across immunology, biophysics, and neuroscience have ...

A recent study suggests that memories aren’t just stored in the brain, raising important questions about cognition.

A cancer drug class best known for attacking tumors may also help your immune system remember them better. Researchers at ...

“SuperAgers have more immature neurons and neuroblasts in the hippocampus, which is an indication of stronger neurogenesis ...

Memories can form outside of the brain, according to new research. Non-brain cells exposed to chemical pulses similar to the ones that brain cells are exposed to when presented with new information ...

In wound healing, immune response, and cancer metastasis, cells migrate through the body—often squeezing through narrow, confined spaces. Together with experimental collaborators, Professor David ...

Memory T cells are a special type of white blood cell that "remember" past infections and vaccines, helping our bodies to quickly respond if we encounter the same germs again. These cells are found ...

For decades, dogma dictated that the immune system consisted of two separate branches. Cells of the innate system respond rapidly to molecular patterns shared by a broad array of pathogens. Meanwhile, ...

Viral infections often leave lasting marks on human memory and thinking skills by altering the balance of the immune system. A recent comprehensive review of medical data reveals that specific ...

With modern scientific research, much of the old gym folklore has either been debunked or proven to be true. One example is the concept of muscle memory. The belief is that a seasoned trainee who ...
