Found special cells that can improve the memory of the child and increase his ability to learn
About the most important scientific discovery said experts in the field of neuroscience from Sweden.
Together with Brazilian scientists in the course of studying the functional characteristics of the human brain, Swedish doctors discovered in the hippocampus special kind of neurons. If you subject a group of these cells to stimulation, in a child markedly improved memory and increased ability to learn.
The discovery was originally intended to be used to find a cure for Alzheimer's disease, but it turned out that stimulation of a group of neurons in the elderly and adults does not cause activation of memory, thinking, logic.
In the "working" state cells are only in children.
Interneurons were called oriens lacunosum-moleculere (OLM). Experiments on laboratory mice showed that excessive cell stimulation blocks fear.
It is not yet clear how useful the study will be for the treatment of people with Alzheimer's syndrome.
But scientists already have a plan how to use the results of their scientific work to improve mental and intellectual abilities in children.
In particular, it is proposed to use electrical stimulation and magnetic stimulation of interneurons for children with autism, for children with low mental abilities, for children with severe disabilities of the central nervous system.
