Tohoku University's study reveals that manipulating astrocytes in mice's brains impacts memory retention. Acidifying ...

The tagging system lit up all astrocytes that expressed the c-Fos gene in response to fear conditioning. Williamson’s team ...

Astrocytes, critical brain cells, are often lost in neurodegenerative diseases, but recent research highlights the promise of ...

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 ...

A new paper, published November 6 in Nature, examines the role played by cells called astrocytes—named for their distinctive star-shaped form—in the way that mice process and store memories.

A study published in Nature by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine changes the way we understand memory. Until now, memories have been explained by the activity of brain cells called neurons ...

Astrocytes trigger memory recall The researchers began by developing a completely new set of laboratory tools to identify and ...

Neurologists have now 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 ...

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 ...
