Noise-inducing neurons shut down memories in Alzheimer’s

In mouse models of Alzheimer's disease, active neurons still encode memory, and a group of active neurons encodes novel environmental information. The signal of the novelty containing neurons causes a superimposition disturbing the signal of memory encoding neurons.

Not All Astrocytes in the Brain Are the Same

A new study published in Neuron challenges the idea that astrocytes across the brain are largely identical. Researchers found astrocytes in the hippocampus and striatum have differences that affect how they function and interact with neurons. Striatal astrocytes also have different genes turned on that hippocampal astrocytes, the study reports.
