The researchers found that, much like brain cells, these other types of cells responded to the chemical signals by switching on a gene associated with memory storage.
Vitamin K2 may have a protective effect on bone mineral density and reduced risk of hip, vertebral and non-vertebral fractures. [11] These effects appear to be accentuated when combined with vitamin D and in the setting of osteoporosis. [1] Research suggests that vitamin K 2 (Menaquinone 7, MK-7]) may reduce the rate and severity of night time ...
Neuroplasticity is the process by which neurons adapt to a disturbance over time, and most often occurs in response to repeated exposure to stimuli. [27] Aerobic exercise increases the production of neurotrophic factors [note 1] (e.g., BDNF, IGF-1, VEGF) which mediate improvements in cognitive functions and various forms of memory by promoting blood vessel formation in the brain, adult ...
The ventral-most pair (K1 and K2) appears closely tied to the function of the superior colliculus. K cells are not restricted to the koniocellular layers. They are also found in small groups, in pairs or as single cells within M and P layers. Larger subpopulations form bridges spanning the distance between two adjacent K layers. [1]: 131
Brain cells make up the functional tissue of the brain. The rest of the brain tissue is the structural stroma that includes connective tissue such as the meninges , blood vessels , and ducts. The two main types of cells in the brain are neurons , also known as nerve cells, and glial cells , also known as neuroglia. [ 1 ]
Body memory (BM) is a hypothesis that the body itself is capable of storing memories, as opposed to only the brain. While experiments have demonstrated the possibility of cellular memory [ 1 ] there are currently no known means by which tissues other than the brain would be capable of storing memories.
The amygdala is involved in memory consolidation, which is the process of transferring information that is currently in working memory into ones long-term memory. This process is also known as memory modulation. [7] The amygdala works to encode recent emotional information into memory.
