Astrocytes have become a hot research topic as evidence mounts suggesting that astrocytes in the brains cortex do more than provide support to neurons. In this video, UC San Diego bioengineering Ph.D. student Chris MacDonald describes a fluorescent image of neurons (green) and astrocytes (red) grown in culture.
So could having more of these cells boosts thought process?

Any insight as to what other roles the astrocytes are taking on?

Nice :)
Maybe you could post a little more about glial cells?
