“If we go back to the early 1900s, this is when the idea was first proposed that memories are physically stored in some location within the brain,” says Michael R. Williamson, a researcher at the ...
Fascinating new findings into how clusters of 'brain stars' retain memories has changed what we know about how they're held in our minds. Baylor College of Medicine researchers have been investigating ...
Why are we able to recall only some of our past experiences? A new study led by Jun Nagai at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science in Japan has an answer. Surprisingly, it turns out that the brain cells ...
Move over, amyloid, reactive astrocytes and activated microglia may be the main drivers of the Alzheimer’s disease pathological cascade. In the November 6 Nature Neuroscience, scientists led by Pedro ...
Astrocytes are star shaped cells that make up around 35% of human brain cells. They were once thought of as cells that simply supported neurons in the central nervous system (CNS). But in recent years ...
New research led by scientists from the RIKEN Center for Brain Science points to astrocytes as the brain cells responsible for long-term learning and memory. In a new Nature paper, they demonstrate ...
New experiments reveal how astrocytes tune neuronal activity to modulate our mental and emotional states. The results suggest that neuron-only brain models, such as connectomes, leave out a crucial ...
Astrocytes shed their supportive role and unlock hidden neurogenic potential, offering new hope for brain injury recovery through cutting-edge epigenetic reprogramming. Study: DNA methylation controls ...
