Glial cells support neurological structures, function, cognition, behaviours, physical skills, and motor coordination.

Long overlooked and underestimated, glial cells – non-neuronal cells that support, protect and communicate with neurons – are ...

Scientists at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) in South Korea have discovered a new enzyme, called SIRT2, that may play ...

A Florida Atlantic University study shows that astrocytes, glial cells long viewed as passive, actively influence brain ...

New research highlights how astrocytes, long considered mere support cells, actively shape brain network dynamics.

Long overlooked and underestimated, glial cells—non-neuronal cells that support, protect and communicate with neurons—are ...

Astrocytes, once considered merely supportive elements in the central nervous system (CNS), are now recognized as integral to ...

For years neuroscientists have focused on the brain’s neurons as its principal creators of memory and thought. But what if the reason for our cognitive abilities isn’t in the electrical activity of ...

A new machine learning model shows that star-shaped brain cells may be responsible for the brain's memory capacity, and ...

Astrocytes are star shaped cells that make up around 35% of human brain cells. They were once thought of as cells that simply supported neurons in the central nervous system (CNS). But in recent years ...

Modulating engram neurons “Astrocytes are really bushy,” Williamson says. They have a complex morphology with lots and lots of micro or nanoscale processes that infiltrate the area surrounding ...
