Star-Shaped Brain Cells May Hold Key to Memory Storage
84% Informative
MIT researchers say astrocytes don’t just support neurons, they actively participate in memory storage.
Astrocytes communicate through calcium signaling, which flow through their branching processes like messages in a biological telegraph system.
The new model is based on dense associative memory networks that can store and recall patterns more efficiently than traditional neural networks.
The discovery could also revolutionize artificial intelligence.
The neuron-astrocyte architecture offers a more efficient alternative to large language models.
The model can smoothly transition between operating like a dense associative memory system and functioning like a transformer.
This flexibility could enable new AI designs that are both more powerful and more energy-efficient.
