more about basal cognition with a focus on consciousness at the leve of gene regulated networks !?!

here's the preprint that accompanies the article :

lol so if i understand this right , the biggest difference between our kidney cells and our brain in terms of intelligence is the speed and complexity of that intelligence? namely the brain does the same stuff just faster and more complex ... haha

The massed-spaced learning effect in non-neural human cells - Nature Communications

When learning is spaced in time, memory is enhanced, but so far this was only observed in neural systems. Here, the authors show that non-neural cells, including kidney cells, also show a spaced effect in terms of transcriptional responses.
