Anterior cingulate cortex monitors action state and action content in complex associative learning

ACC contains specialized neurons that sustain rich action-relevant information after action execution, enabling prolonged action monitoring, and supporting complex associative linking across events.

MIT scientists identify hidden brain cells that could boost memory far beyond current theories and explain why it has no known upper limit

The human brain contains roughly 86 billion neurons, and for decades scientists have assumed that these cells are the primary ...

Scientists think they've learned how the human brain is able to store so much information

Astrocytes are the brain’s star-shaped support cells, and they might be doing more than just backing up neurons. While we usually credit neurons for storing memories and processing thoughts, ...

Astrocytes May Hold the Key to Brain’s Vast Memory Capacity

Summary: New research proposes that astrocytes—long thought to be merely supportive cells—may significantly enhance the brain’s ability to store memories. Unlike neurons, astrocytes cannot fire ...
