When you think of brain cells, neurons probably come to mind. But did you know another type—astrocytes—may be just as important?

Astrocytes are star-shaped glial cells that support neuron health, memory, and even emotional balance. Recent research suggests they:

  • Regulate neurotransmitters

  • Assist with brain repair

  • Influence memory formation

  • Support the blood-brain barrier

As neuroscience advances, so does our understanding of how to support brain healing—from nutrition to non-invasive therapies like TMS, which may stimulate supportive brain regions.

At Countryside Neurology, we stay at the forefront of brain science so we can offer cutting-edge care.
