Study finds key role for non-neural brain cells in processing vision | MIT researchers employed a novel application of tools and analysis to show that astrocytes ensure neural information processing by maintaining ambient levels of the neurotransmitter chemical GABA.
Astrocytes are about as abundant in the brain as neurons. A novel study by MIT researchers at The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory shows that one of their functions is to maintain the chemical conditions necessary for groups of neurons to team up to encode information.
