A recent study by researchers at the University of Rochester Medical Center has revealed new properties of human brain cells known as astrocytes, using them to boost learning ability in mice. Scientists injected the cells — previously seen as relatively unimportant helpers to more central neurons — into the brains of a group of mice, then tested the animals against a control group given extra cells from their own species. After a six-month maturation period, those injected with hum...
