Memory B cells are B cells that although activated by the immune system, they are stored inside the circulatory system for later use, for long periods of time, possibly a whole lifetime.
Memory
In every animal that has been studied, including
the sea slug Aplysia
Drosophila
mice
ourselves,
the acquisition of a memory occurs in two phases: ...

memory cell
A clone of long-lived lymphocytes, formed during the primary immune response, that remains in a lymph node until activated by exposure to the same antigen that triggered its formation.
B memory cells Long-lived B cells that are produced after an initial exposure to an antigen and play an important role in secondary immunity. They remain in the body and facilitate a more rapid responce if the antigen is encountered again.
Is memory a function of neuronal communication?
What most neuroscientists believe is that, to actually encode memories into our brain, you need to set up a network, a neuronal network that can be recalled when you're remember something.
memory cell A lymphocyte capable of initiating the antibody- mediated immune response on detection of a specific antigen molecule for which it is genetically programmed. It circulates freely in the blood and lymph, and may live for years.
Memory; remembrance; recollection; as, to have or keep in mind, to call to mind, to put in mind, etc. To have a mind or great mind, to be inclined or strongly inclined in purpose; used with an infinitive. Sir Roger de Coverly.
the late summer of 1999, a Princeton molecular biologist published the results of impressive research in which he enhanced the ability to learn in mice by inserting a gene that codes for a protein in brain cells known to be associated with memory.
Memory, learning, and conscious thought are a few aspects of the functions of the nervous system. Maintaining autonomic functions such as heartbeat, breathing, control of involuntary muscle actions are performed by some of the parts of this system.
This process of random fluctuation continues generation after generation, with no force pushing the frequency back to its initial state because the population has no "genetic memory" of its state many generations ago.
An important concept is that once activated, memory cells are produced that insure that a more rapid and stronger immune response can be made upon re-exposure to the same pathogen. This is why vaccinations provide lasting protection against disease.
Primary response produces memory cells which remain in the circulation
Secondary response new invasion by same antigen at a lower state. Immediate recognition and distraction by memory cells -faster and larger response usually prevents harm ...

- Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia (a brain disorder that seriously affects a person's ability to carry out daily activities) among older people. It involves the parts of the brain that control thought, memory, ...
The brain cells of Huntington's victims slowly degenerate, producing jerking muscles, slurred speech, swallowing difficulty, loss of balance, mood swings, reasoning and memory loss, incapacitation, ...

They are important in a variety of functions involving cell membranes, vision, memory, gene expression, inflammatory response ...
Their antigen receptors are surface immunoglobulins (antibodies). They recognize peptides directly and secrete antibodies by differentiating into plasma cells. They also exist as long-lived memory cells.
