Title : Future studies in the filed of memory and cognition based an astrocyte
Abstract:
In the last two centuries, almost all studies related to memory and cognition, as the most fundamental unknown constructs of mankind, have been conducted with a focus on considering neurons as the basic brain cells. Examining this field for several years and presenting a new theory in April 2021 entitled “Astrocytes Store for Memory and Cognition”, I strongly suggest this theory, which was published in the form of an article in the Journal of International Neuroscience and was also accepted in the 38th World Summit on Neurology, Psychiatry, and Mental Health. It also received positive and extensive attention from international scientific journals and centers as well as prominent scientists. It is evident that this theory does not contradict the new and progressive findings in this field, specifically, the theory of the role of talins with their special structural function, and other proteins in shaping learning in synapses, as well as the accompanying biochemical processes for the formation of memory in neurons, which was developed by Dr. Goult from University of Kent and was published at the same time my article was published. This learning, which, in my opinion, takes place via the interaction of astrocytes, can be ultimately stored in astrocytes. Furthermore, the old theories that have been presented based on genetic activities, especially epigenetics, do not have the slightest contradiction with my theory, and after the LTP processes in the synapses, it can ultimately lead to the storage of information and the formation of memory in astrocytes, which is necessary for cognition in any case.
