Researchers at the University of Utah Health found that "time cells" in mice brains play a vital role in complex learning related to timing, potentially aiding early Alzheimer's detection.
Researchers at the University of Utah Health discovered that "time cells" in mice brains play a crucial role in complex learning involving timing. These cells, which fire in sequence to map short periods of time, change their activity patterns as animals learn to distinguish between different timed events. This finding could aid in early detection of diseases such as Alzheimer's that affect the sense of time.
