]]> Comment on The Many Emerging Roles of Astrocytes by Emily Haines, MSc, PhD studenthttp://brainblogger.com/2012/02/03/the-many-emerging-roles-of-astrocytes/#comment-621987 Emily Haines, MSc, PhD student Mon, 06 Feb 2012 12:05:31 +0000 http://brainblogger.com/?p=9875#comment-621987 Thanks for your comments, Matt. I certainly think that investigating how astrocytes are involved in neural development, metabolism, and regulating blood flow would lead to greater understanding of how to optimise our cognitive abilities. Presumably creating the best cellular environment possible would allow the brain to harness its full potential, eg more, healthier cells functioning more efficiently together. Astrocytes are also extremely important in inflammation and repairing damage. I think there would also be promise in harnessing their potential to restore cognitive abilities following, for example, brain trauma or stroke. Another important offshoot of this research is in artificial intelligence. If astrocytes add a layer of complexity to neural signalling that is responsible for human intelligence, and if artificial intelligence researchers try to replicate the principles of neural circuitry without considering the role of astrocytes, then artificial intelligence will never even approach human intelligence.
