It takes a village: Neurons partner with vascular pericytes to make memories. Academic Article

abstract

• Neurons have a central role in memory formation, but emerging work points to the critical role that non-neuronal cells play in this process. In this issue of Neuron, Pandey and colleagues1 show that hippocampal neurons communicate with vascular pericytes during memory consolidation. Through this dialogue, pericyte-derived growth factors support long-term memory.
