Overlooked cells might explain the human brain’s huge storage capacity
MIT researchers have a new hypothesis for how brain cells called astrocytes might contribute to memory storage in the brain. Their model, known as dense associative memory, would help explain the brain’s massive storage capacity.
Forgetting is an active dopamine-involved process rather than a brain glitch. 🧠✨ A study using worms 🐛 80% genetically identical to humans, demonstrates that dopamine assists in both memory retention and forgetting: worms unable to produce dopamine retained memory significantly longer than regular worms.
