TWEAKING NON-NEURAL BRAIN CELLS CAN CAUSE MEMORIES TO FADE

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Astrocytes, non-neuron brain cells, can be artificially manipulated to suppress or enhance specific memories while leaving all other memories intact. These cells play various roles in the brain, many focused on the health and activity of their neighboring neurons. Scientists hope to be able to develop an astrocyte-targeted treatment for disorders such as PTSD.
