🧠 Durante décadas, las neuronas han centrado el estudio de la memoria. Pero ¿qué papel juegan los #astrocitos? @thetransmitter.bsky.social aborda esta cuestión a partir del trabajo de @navarrete-llinas.bsky.social , del @cncajal-csic.bsky.social www.thetransmitter.org/memory/are-p...

Are parts of the memory trace found in the ‘astroengram?’

Neurons have long taken top billing in memory, but researchers are making the case for astrocytes.
