Can cells outside the brain learn, remember, and make decisions? In this episode, neuroscientist Dr. Nikolay Kukushkin shares groundbreaking research that shows even non-neuronal cells can recognize patterns, count, and store information in ways strikingly similar to brain cells. We explore: <ul data-start="634" data-end="933"> <li data-start="634" data-end="680"> Why memory may not be limited to the brain </li> <li data-start="681" data-end="734"> What sea slugs can teach us about human cognition </li> <li data-start="735" data-end="792"> How prediction and perception shape our sense of self </li> <li data-start="793" data-end="860"> The parallels between AI and biological intelligence </li> <li data-start="861" data-end="933"> Whether trauma could be “stored” in cells outside the nervous system </li> </ul> Dr. Kukushkin's work suggests we rethink intelligence, not as something exclusive to the brain, but as a fundamental property of life.
