neuron drawing Science Bulletins: "Mystery" Brain Cells Now Linked to Memory

A recent study has shown a connection between neural cells known as astrocytes and our brain's ability to remember what we see. When we concentrate on visual input, the brain releases a chemical that stimulates astrocytes. In mice, memories of visual patterns were stronger when their brains released this chemical. Mice whose astrocyte cells were disabled responded poorly, suggesting a relationship between astrocytes and visual memory.
