The massed-spaced learning effect in non-neural human cells | Nature
Communications
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=96317&nl=daily]
The massed-spaced effect is a hallmark feature of memory formation. We
now demonstrate this effect in two separate non-neural, immortalized
cell lines stably expressing a short-lived luciferase reporter
controlled by a CREB-dependent promoter. We emulate training using
repeated pulses of forskolin and/or phorbol ester, and, as a proxy for
memory, measure luciferase expression at various points after
training. Four spaced pulses of either agonist elicit stronger and
more sustained luciferase expression than a single “massed” pulse.
Spaced pulses also result in stronger and more sustained activation of
molecular factors critical for memory formation, ERK and CREB, and
inhibition of ERK or CREB blocks the massed-spaced effect. Our
findings show that canonical features of memory do not necessarily
depend on neural circuitry, but can be embedded in the dynamics of
signaling cascades conserved across different cell types. When
learning is spaced in time, memory is enhanced, but so far this was
only observed in neural systems. Here, the authors show that
non-neural cells, including kidney cells, also show a spaced effect in
terms of transcriptional responses.

The terrifying perils of appeasing a warlike Russia - The Economist

IN BARRACKS SQUARE in old Helsinki stands an unusual monument to a
war. A towering sculpture of a soldiers winter snowsuit, its polished
steel body is pierced with large round holes, as if still standing
after a strafing by cannon fire. It is Finlands national memorial to
the winter war of 1939-40. During that conflict, Finnish troops
withstood a huge Soviet force for 105 days, inflicting heavy
casualties on the invaders before succumbing to the Red Armys larger
numbers. The Soviet Union imposed harsh terms, taking 10% of its
neighbours territory. Peace proved fragile, and Finland was soon swept
up into the second world war, fighting with Nazi Germany against the
Soviet Red Army from 1941-44.
