Normal brain activity linked to DNA damage
[ Mon, 25 Mar 2013 15:47:15 GMT ]
By Charles ChoiLiveScience Brain activity from experiences as common as exploring new locations surprisingly damages the noggin's DNA, hinting that such disruptions may be a key part of thinking, learning and memory, researchers say.This damage normally heals rapidly, but abnormal proteins seen in Alzheimer's disease can increase this damage further, perhaps overwhelming the ability of brain cells...
