What if our cells have memory and cognition, which changes how medicine is done?
In this conversation with Dr. Pamela Lyon and Dr. Michael Levin, we discuss:
- Cognition and creativity is not merely associated with the brain and nervous system
- Implications of this view of cognition for regenerative medicine and longevity
- Is stress response the source of our creativity?
