Astrocytes, once thought to be the brain’s housekeepers, may actually be silent powerhouses of memory.

Columbia scientists have found that boosting the performance of a self-cleansing system in the brain helps flush amyloid and tau toxins from the brains of mice and improves the animals' cognition.

Researchers have a new hypothesis for how brain cells called astrocytes might contribute to memory storage in the brain. Their model, known as dense associative memory, would help explain the brain's ...
