Neurophysiology: “The body’s memory has an impact on neurological memory”

( Source: MEDICA.de )

[03/12/2012] Our behavior is reflected in our body. Poor nutrition or addictions affect body functions and leave their mark on the body’s memory. The neurological memory also works similarly: the nervous system stores the traces of the signaling pathways in cells and recalls them as required.Neurophysiology: “The body’s memory has an impact on neurological memory” - Read more

Photo: Localization of IkBNS in the cell [30/11/2012] A certain type of immune cell – the regulatory T cell, or Treg for short – is in charge of putting on the brakes on the immune response. In a way, this cell type might be considered the immune system’s traffic cop. Now, German scientists have looked into the origin of Tregs and uncovered a central role played by the protein IκBNS.T Cells: Traffic Cops of the Immune System - Read more
