Press Release -- Astrocytes, not neurons, are the brain cells responsible for stabilizing memories. Emotionally intense experiences like fear biologically tag small groups of astrocytes for several days so that they can re-engage when a mouse recalls the experience. It is this repeated astrocytic engagement that stabilizes memories.

Why are we able to recall only some of our past experiences? A new study led by Jun Nagai at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science in Japan has an answer. Surprisingly, it turns out that the brain cells responsible for stabilizing memories aren’t neurons. Rather, they are astrocytes, a type of glial ...

Press Release -- The RIKEN Guardian Robot Project has developed a robotic exoskeleton that uses artificial intelligence. The pairing improves assisted movements and what the AI learns for one person can be applied to other s without retraining.

Exoskeletons typically work by implementing motions programmed in advance and having the user call for them, making it difficult to use them for a wide range of motions in real-life environments. Now, in a notable example for wearable robotics, published in npj Robotics, researchers from the RIKEN G...
