"But our findings suggest that inflammation in certain neurons in the brain's hippocampal region is essential for making long-lasting memories."

Key Points: 
  • "But our findings suggest that inflammation in certain neurons in the brain's hippocampal region is essential for making long-lasting memories."
  • But looking more closely, we found, to our surprise, that TLR9 was activated only in clusters of hippocampal cells that showed DNA damage."
  • But in this population of hippocampal neurons, the DNA damage appeared to be more substantial and sustained.
  • Importantly, the researchers found that blocking the TLR9 inflammatory pathway in hippocampal neurons not only prevented mice from forming long-term memories but also caused profound genomic instability, i.e, a high frequency of DNA damage in these neurons.
