Overlooked cells might explain the human brain’s huge storage capacity
SMRTR summary
Researchers at MIT propose a new hypothesis for how astrocytes, star-shaped brain cells, might contribute to memory storage. Their model suggests astrocytes could significantly increase the brain's storage capacity beyond what neurons alone can achieve. This theory could explain the brain's vast memory capabilities and potentially influence artificial intelligence development.
