In the brain, synaptic plasticity - the ability to change neuronal connections over time - is fundamental to learning and memory. Traditionally, science has focused on nerve cells and their synapses.
Researchers hypothesize that a powerful type of AI model known as a transformer could be implemented in the brain through networks of neuron and astrocyte cells. The work could offer insights into how ...

Overlooked contributions from astrocytes might explain the human brain's huge storage capacity
The human brain contains about 86 billion neurons. These cells fire electrical signals that help the brain store memories and send information and commands throughout the brain and the nervous system.
Researchers at the Center for Neuroscience Imaging Research within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) have uncovered a two-step mechanism by which the brain regulates blood volume—a breakthrough ...
When it comes to brain function, neurons get a lot of the glory. But healthy brains depend on the cooperation of many kinds of cells. The most abundant of the brain's non-neuronal cells are astrocytes ...
