Discovery of a new function performed by nearly half of brain cells – Neuroscience News
Summary: The release of potassium ions by neurons charges the electrical activity of astrocytes, allowing the control of neurotransmission. Astrocyte-neuron crosstalk raises questions about how the interaction works in brain pathology and the implications for memory and learning. Source: Tufts University Researchers at Tufts University School of Medicine have discovered a previously unknown function performed…
