Cells Keep Score: Memory Not Only In The Brain

Heliox: Where Evidence Meets Empathy

Send us a text

Discover the revolutionary finding that memory isn't just for brain cells anymore. In this episode, we explore groundbreaking research from NYU that reveals how cells throughout your body can learn and remember, just like neurons. We'll break down how this discovery could transform our approach to learning, disease treatment, and human enhancement. From diabetes to cancer therapy, understanding cellular memory opens up exciting new possibilities for medical breakthroughs. Join us as we investigate how spacing out learning works even at the cellular level, and what this means for the future of medicine and education.

This is Heliox: Where Evidence Meets Empathy

Independent, moderated, timely, deep, gentle, clinical, global, and community conversations about things that matter. Breathe Easy, we go deep and lightly surface the big ideas.

Thanks for listening today!

Four recurring narratives underlie every episode: boundary dissolution, adaptive complexity, embodied knowledge, and quantum-like uncertainty. These aren’t just philosophical musings but frameworks for understanding our modern world.
