Nature communications: When memory is generated, saturated fatty acid levels increase significantly!

Fatty acids are a component of lipids or fats and are essential for communication between nerve cells because they help synaptic vesicles -tiny
vesicles containing neurotransmitters-to fuse with cell membranes and pass between cells Information .

The brain is the organ with the highest fat content in the body.

Fatty acids are part of a lipid or fat, it is essential for exchanges between nerve cells, because they contribute to synaptic vesicles synaptic vesicles - tiny capsule containing a neurotransmitter - a fusion with the cell membrane and in Transfer information between cells

Traditionally, polyunsaturated fatty acids are considered important for health and memory.

Recently published in " Nature Communications " a on the study highlights the unexpected role of saturated fatty acids

In this study , a targeted lipidomics approach was used to characterize FFA and phospholipids in the rat brain and see how their levels change as new memories are formed in the brain

In this study , look at how their levels change as new memories are formed in the brain
.

Researchers’ previously published results have shown that when brain cells communicate with each other in a petri dish, the level of saturated fatty acids increases
.

In this study , the study found that the level of saturated fat in brain cells changes most significantly, especially the myristic acid in coconut oil and butter

Fellow before published studies have shown that when brain cells, brain cells when communicating with each other in a petri dish, will increase the level of saturated fatty acids

Fatty acid levels in rat brain, especially saturated fatty acids, will increase as memory formation, but when they learn to stop using drugs and rats to form memories of memories are formed when fatty acid levels did not change

The study also found that the highest concentrations of

Research contributor and QBI director Professor Pankaj Sah said that this work opens up a new way of how memories are formed
.

"This study has tremendous implications for our understanding of synaptic plasticity - Synaptic plasticity is a change at the junction between neurons, so that they can exchange, learn and build memories," Professor Sa said
