What are the similarities between pain and memory problems?

Recently showed a group of scientists from Brown University (Brown University) that these receptors play an important role in the workings of memory and the human capacity to learn. The results of the analysis, which is very surprised experts, were published in the latest issue of the journal Neuron. The head of the research project by Dr. Julie Kaur (Julie Kauer). Scientists have shown that the activation of the receptor leads to TPRV1 prolonged depression. This phenomenon leads to a permanent change in the compounds, which occur between the neurons in the brain. The above-described changes in the brain, according to experts, are the cellular basis of memory formation. "We have long known that affect TPRV1 receptors in the brain and some of the processes associated with their function," - says Dr. Kauer. -. "However, the first opportunity to determine what the actual function of these receptors' has experts say the relationship between the activation of the receptor TPRV1 and cellular mechanisms of memory impairment was first opened. According to scientists of the study data will contribute to a new type of drug for the treatment of diseases that lead to develop memory problems. Also, scientists hope to a method for the treatment of neurological disorders such as epilepsy develop.
