Untangling a Cholinergic Pathway from Wakefulness to Memory

Neuron
Steffen Gais, Monika Schönauer

Abstract

Acetylcholine is a major modulator of learning and memory, and its availability varies across the sleep-wake cycle. In this issue of Neuron, Papouin et al. (2017) describe a D-serine-dependent pathway involving astroglia by which the transmitter tunes the hippocampus toward memory encoding during wakefulness.
