🧠 Durante décadas, las neuronas han centrado el estudio de la memoria. Pero ¿qué papel juegan los #astrocitos? @thetransmitter.bsky.social aborda esta cuestión a partir del trabajo de @navarrete-llinas.bsky.social , del @cncajal-csic.bsky.social www.thetransmitter.org/memory/are-p...
thetransmitter.org
Are parts of the memory trace found in the ‘astroengram?’
Neurons have long taken top billing in memory, but researchers are making the case for astrocytes.

Are parts of the memory trace found in the ‘astroengram?’ thetransmitter.org/memory/are-par… What an enriching experience it is to discuss science with experts in the field! A fascinating discussion, and hopefully just the beginning of many more! @cncajal-csic.bsky.social @csic.es

Neuroscience hasn’t been able to investigate the role of astrocytes in memory because “all the tools we have to understand how the brain works are related to neurons." #neuroskyence By @davidbrz.bsky.social www.thetransmitter.org/memory/are-p...

Hoy nos despedimos del #InstitutoCajal Han sido años de ciencia, aprendizaje y, sobre todo, de personas que han dado vida a cada pasillo, cada laboratorio y cada idea. Nos llevamos todo eso con nosotros. Vamos con ilusión hacia lo que viene con el #CentroDeNeurocienciasCajal 🫶

🧠 A new study led by our PI Marta Llinás published in Nature Communications shows that a specific #astrocyte ensemble drives memory deficits caused by adolescent #cannabis use in mice. 🔬 Reducing their overactivation prevents cognitive impairments. More info🔗https://shorturl.at/Mxih0

🗞️Un estudio liderado por @navarrete-llinas.bsky.social @institutocajal.bsky.social muestra que los problemas de memoria y aprendizaje tras consumir #cannabis en adolescencia están modulados por #astrocitos, células tradicionalmente consideradas de apoyo de las neuronas 🔗https://buff.ly/N1Nt9ka

Células distintas de las neuronas medin la pérdida de memoria por cannabis. Un estudio en ratones muestra que el componente principal del cannabis sobreactiva a un grupo de astrocitos, que alteran la comunicación entre las regiones implicadas en el aprendizaje www.csic.es/es/actualida...

🎉 Great news! Our paper is now published in @naturecomm We identify a specific astrocyte ensemble that mediates THC-induced cognitive impairments during adolescence Huge thanks to our collaborators @marsicanolab @khakhlab @grandeslab 🔗 rdcu.be/eY0Or @jsromero.bsky.social @crismonteagudo.bsky.social

Had a blast working on the revision for this one. It was a hectic summer with @crismonteagudo.bsky.social in the lab giving THC injections almost every single day (for research purposes) and struggling with time zones for lab meetings, but all the effort paid off. Congrats on the hard work! 🎉

The @navarrete-llinas.bsky.social lab is kicking off 2026 with even more new science! Our latest paper, led by the amazing @crismonteagudo.bsky.social, is out now in @natcomms.nature.com. 🧠 Astrocytes mediate cognitive impairments induced by THC 🌿 exposure during adolescence. 👇🏼

Getting a head start into the new year with the latest from the @navarrete-llinas.bsky.social lab out now in @natrevneuro.nature.com! Engrams are not composed solely of neurons: astrocytes also form coordinated ensembles that drive memory encoding and recall. 🧪 🧠 👇🏼

Y'all, I'm in this tweet! Won't do the where's Waldo thing, though (I'm too easy to spot). Jokes aside, thanks to Network Glia @gliameeting.bsky.social for the stipend to attend #GLIA2025!

This is today! I will be representing the @navarrete-llinas.bsky.social lab at #GLIA2025 talking about astrocyte ensembles in memory and behavior. Go check it out!

Took a plane to Marseille this morning on my way to #GLIA2025. Landed in Nice instead because of a wildfire. At least I get to see some gorgeous views of the Côte Bleue from the train to Marseille. Could have been worse, I guess.

There are times when science and art collide. 🧪🎨 I once took these micrographs of astrocytes expressing CaMPARI-GFAP, a calcium indicator for taking snapshots of astrocytic activity. They reminded me of a firework display which just won first prize at SENC's #NeuroArt contest! 🎆 youtu.be/eyPI8r15db4

So I patched an astrocyte.
A voltage clamp recording of an astrocyte in response to increasing depolarization steps. The recording shows the characteristic flat I-V profile of astrocytes.

Impressive work by our very own @crismonteagudo.bsky.social on #astrocytes in THC-related impairments. 🧪🧠✨ Go show the preprint some love 👇🏼

Kicking off our Bluesky profile celebrating our newest publication in @natureneuro.bsky.social! Using our new tool AstroLight we demonstrate that a specific group of #astrocytes —an astrocyte ensemble— in the nucleus accumbens regulates cue-motivated behavior. Check it out!✨https://rdcu.be/d8qJi
