Astrocytes, once thought to be the brain’s housekeepers, may actually be silent powerhouses of memory. MIT scientists have proposed a bold new model where these star-shaped cells, with their intricate networks and calcium signaling, help store massive amounts of information, potentially far more than neurons alone could. This theory could shake up both neuroscience and […]
