Creating long-term memory requires a cellular program in neurons involving gene expression, protein synthesis, and formation of new synaptic connections. Suzuki et al. (2011) show that astrocytes, glial cells of the brain, play a necessary role in this program by converting glycogen to lactate and transporting it to neurons.
形成长期记忆需要神经元中的细胞程序,包括基因表达、蛋白质合成和新的突触连接形成。铃木等人(2011)表明,星形胶质细胞,即大脑的神经胶质细胞,通过将糖原转化为乳酸并将其运送到神经元中,在这个程序中发挥了必要的作用。
