The Baylor team has expanded this theory, with their research, including work in mice, showing that non-neuronal cell types called astrocytes—star-shaped cells—in the brain also store memories ...

Summary: Astrocytes, non-neuronal brain cells, have been shown to work alongside neurons to store and recall memories, reshaping our understanding of memory mechanisms. Researchers found that specific ...

Astrocytes are the largest and most prevalent type of glial cell in the central nervous system. Astrocytes contribute to formation of the blood–brain barrier, participate in the maintenance of ...

In the early phase of Alzheimer’s disease, astrocytes are the primary source of APOE in the brain. This study examined the effects of astrocyte-derived human APOE isoforms in APOE-deficient mouse ...

The Baylor team expanded this theory by showing that non-neuronal cell types in the brain called astrocytes – star-shaped cells – also store memories and work in concert with groups of neurons called ...

Manipulating astrocytes’ acidity in mice influences memory retention, with acidification impairing and alkalinization preserving long-term memories, offering insights into memory treatment approaches.

Baylor College of Medicine scientists discovered that astrocytes contribute to memory, challenging the neuron-focused model. Astrocytes, when activated, can stimulate memory recall in specific ...

This important study demonstrated that ablation of astrocytes in the lumbar spinal cord not only reduced neuropathic pain but also caused microglia activation. The findings presented add considerable ...

Researchers from Tohoku University have discovered that part of the memory selection process depends on the function of astrocytes, a special type of cell that surrounds neurons in the brain.
