Une nouvelle étude dirigée par Adrien Peyrache révèle que la boussole interne du cerveau reste remarquablement stable au fil du temps. Les résultats semblent indiquer que ce sens de l’orientation pourrait servir de point d’ancrage à la mémoire.

Longtemps considérés comme de simples cellules de soutien, les astrocytes se révèlent aujourd’hui comme de véritables chefs d’orchestre de l’activité cérébrale. Ciaran Murphy-Royal et son équipe mettent en lumière leur rôle central dans la modulation des circuits neuronaux impliqués dans la peur.
Incredibly proud of this paper led by @ossamaghenissa.bsky.social and @mathiasgua.bsky.social titled Basolateral 'Amygdala Astrocytes Encode Anxiety States'.

🧠 Resting-state fMRI is often treated as the gold standard for studying the brain’s intrinsic organization.
But is it actually the best way to estimate functional architecture?
We tested this directly.
