Non-neural cells can mimic memory-like behavior. These cells "remember" chemical patterns over time, showing that memory mechanisms aren't exclusive to the brain but rely on fundamental cellular processes. #Neuroscience #Memory #CellBiology #BrainResearch #NonNeuralCells

New insights highlight the skull's role as a communication hub between brain and body immune systems, potentially influencing conditions like depression by linking central and peripheral inflammation.
'Missing link' between brain and body inflammatory signals identified in the skull
Research from the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King's College London provides valuable insights into the brain-body immune connection, identifying key communication hubs in the dural sinuses and skull bone marrow at the back of the head.

Immune cells not only cause pain but can also resolve it! Cytokines inhibit pain hypersensitivity, and immune opioids boost analgesia. A potential pathway for pain relief. #PainManagement #Immunology PMID:39528810, Nat Immunol 2024, @NatImmunol doi.org/10.1038/s415...
