Hippocampal astrocytes represent navigation space
by Xinzhu Yu
Hippocampal place cells, which display location-specific activity, are known to encode spatial information. A recent study in PLOS Biology by Curreli and colleagues shows that hippocampal astrocytes are implicated in encoding complementary spatial information, suggesting the existence of glial place cells. Hippocampal place cells, which display location-specific activity, are known to encode spatial information. This Primer explores the implications of a PLOS Biology study showing... Читать дальше...
