Interesting to know that memories are in other parts of the body and not just brain
Today, I read an article that provided an explanation stating that our memories are not limited to just brain neurons, but also involve signals from other parts of our body. I was interested to read more on this topic. It is very surprising to learn new things about our brain. What people commonly know is that there is a connection between our brain and the gut, but beyond this simple understanding, there are so many other things as well.
The article was too technical to understand, but the topic itself was very interesting to explore and learn. It appears that not just the brain cells have the capacity to store memories, but all the cell in the body has the capacity. This topic is very interesting for me because I always thought that there are two types of memories, where one is temporary in the body and another is the genetic memory, which gets transferred to the offspring. We have some evidence that certain skills are passed down through genes to the offspring. This makes me feel that some knowledge is part of the brain and some are part of our genes.
It appears that learning is not just a brain related activity but looks like this is how a cell process information in our body over time. I also used to think that if a person is getting more experience in their life and if that experience gets stored in their genes, there is a high chance that the experience can get inherited to the offspring if they plan for a baby at a very old age. I don't know if this logic would work correctly or not, but this is just a thought for me. The more the age is for a person, the more experience they will have more and this can ultimately lead people to send more information through the genes.
The outcome of this study is the say that learning and memory is not the brain and brain cell-related thing, but all the other cells present in the body can also learn and create memories. This is very interesting because we cannot imagine the capacity of the human memory then. The only problem with this concept is aging, which is still a secret to crack. With aging, this process gets affected and regeneration is also affected and memory loss becomes a common thing. This particular study also helps in the medical field, where based on these findings, the scientists can now create better medicines are provide a better drug exposures during medications.

That’s such a fascinating idea! It really makes you think about how deeply connected our mind and body are. If memories are influenced by our cells too, it could completely change how we understand learning and healing.
Most of the time actually, memories tend to stick in our minds much more and that's why we need to value it
hm i don't really know if you can pass your memories to children, im pretty sure i dont have memories of my parents or grandparents lol ... who knows for the rest, human body is a complex machine...
That’s such an interesting idea! I’ve always thought memory was only in the brain, but this makes me see it in a whole new way. The connection between the body, genetics, and memory is really fascinating.

All I knew was that the code for the cell program is in the DNA, and how a cell should function is getting passed from the Parent to the child. But this memory part is wild. But maybe that's what certain fears, phobias and unexplained anxieties are. 💟☮️
With ageing, there is the risk of acquiring and passing down diseases. And I'm pretty sure no one has that on their to-do list. 🤣
Oh yeah there is this risk too. With ageing we acquire more disease related information too in our DNA. Both good and bad.
The human system is no doubt a handful . The creator indeed took His time in creating us all..
Wow! Who knew our cells could hold memories too? Makes you see the body in a whole new way.
If memories are stored in every cell of the human body, it could completely change our brain-centric concept. This proves that learning and experience occur not only in the brain but throughout the body.
