The commonly used expression "the body remembers" has been scientifically proven. Cells other than brain cells responsible for memory storage also have memory capabilities, and repetitive stimuli activate memory genes.

 

A research team at New York University in the United States induced a 'dispersion effect' by exposing two types of human cells (neural tissue and kidney tissue), rather than brain cells, to different patterns of chemical signals. They manipulated related proteins to emit light so that they could distinguish between when the 'memory genes' that activate during the reorganization of connections to form memories are turned on and when they are turned off.

As a result of the study, it was observed that just as brain cells express memory genes when detecting patterns in information, non-brain cells' memory genes also emit light. In particular, when chemicals were delivered at regular intervals rather than intensively, the memory genes emitted light more strongly and for a longer duration. This research suggests that, compared to intensive studying before an exam,

 

The research team demonstrated the 'concentration-dispersion effect,' which improves memory retention through repeated learning with intervals. They explained that the ability to learn repeatedly with intervals is not limited to brain cells but may be a fundamental property of all cells.

 

Professor Nikolai Kukushkin, the lead author of the study, said, "This research suggests that in the future, we should treat our bodies like the brain," and added, "A prime example is how the pancreas remembers past eating patterns to maintain healthy blood sugar levels or how cancer cells remember chemotherapy patterns to evade them."

 

===============

It's true that the body remembers.

Every action I take

I think positively and healthily with my head.

Even if you do

The body always reacts first.
