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.
期刊介绍:
Experimental Neurobiology is an international forum for interdisciplinary investigations of the nervous system. The journal aims to publish papers that present novel observations in all fields of neuroscience, encompassing cellular & molecular neuroscience, development/differentiation/plasticity, neurobiology of disease, systems/cognitive/behavioral neuroscience, drug development & industrial application, brain-machine interface, methodologies/tools, and clinical neuroscience. It should be of interest to a broad scientific audience working on the biochemical, molecular biological, cell biological, pharmacological, physiological, psychophysical, clinical, anatomical, cognitive, and biotechnological aspects of neuroscience. The journal publishes both original research articles and review articles. Experimental Neurobiology is an open access, peer-reviewed online journal. The journal is published jointly by The Korean Society for Brain and Neural Sciences & The Korean Society for Neurodegenerative Disease.
