A researcher from Australia National University discovered a new type of cell, which boosts the ability of human body to fight off infections and life threatening diseases

A team of neuroscientists found a gene that turns on when memories are stored in the brain. This discovery could help trace the exact locations of memories in the brain. It could help in creating and altering memory.  The gene is called Npas4 , which is very active in the hippocampus.  The animal is known to have a brain structure critical in forming long-term memories.
