For decades, neuroscience has been built around a central idea: neurons communicate through synapses using electrical impulses and chemical neurotransmitters. While this framework remains foundational, recent discoveries reveal a far more complex and nuanced system of communication within the brain—one

Recent advances in neuroscience are reshaping our understanding of how the brain refines and preserves memories, and astrocytes—once thought to be merely supportive cells—are now taking center stage. Emerging research suggests that astrocytes actively participate in synaptic pruning during sleep,
