New research supports brain cell transplantation as a treatment for some neurological disorders. A team from McGill ...

How does the brain store—and access—our memories? While our understanding of the brain has (thankfully) developed greatly from the days of removing cerebral tissue to see what would happen, a precise ...

New research reveals that astrocytes, a type of non-neuronal brain cell, play a significant role in memory storage and recall ...

Astrocytes, non-neuronal brain cells, have been shown to work alongside neurons to store and recall memories, reshaping our ...

A study published in Nature by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine changes the way we understand memory. Until now, ...

Fascinating new findings into how clusters of 'brain stars' retain memories has changed what we know about how they're held in our minds.

A study published in Nature by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine changes the way we understand memory. Until now, ...

A study from Baylor College of Medicine reveals that astrocytes, previously thought to have a limited role, are essential for memory recall. The research shows that these cells interact with neurons ...

Results indicate that a distinct ensemble of astrocytes selectively coordinates the consolidation and recall of a particular memory.

These findings resemble classic descriptions of immune memory in immune cells. Hence, the investigators have termed it astrocyte immune memory to differentiate it from the described roles of ...
