AI Article Synopsis
- Recent research by Williamson et al. reveals that astrocytes, previously thought to mainly support neuronal function, are actually involved in memory formation and recall.
- This challenges the long-held belief that memory storage and retrieval are solely controlled by neurons.
- The findings highlight the importance of astrocytes in the brain's memory processes, suggesting a more complex interaction between different cell types in memory function.
Article Abstract
Astrocytes have been known to support neuronal function, but until now, memory storage and recall has thought to be largely controlled by neurons. In this article, we shed light on recent research published by Williamson et al. that, for the first time, shows astrocytes to participate in memory formation and recall.
