Scientists have identified a new hybrid brain cell, sharing attributes of neurons and astrocytes. These cells can release neurotransmitters and may influence conditions like epilepsy and memory consolidation.

Its astounding how little we still understand about the brain in 2024.
To me, it’s more surprising that we actually know quite a lot about the brain - and yet we still manage to discover new things about it, even fundamentally new like new cell types. Wow.
The more you learn about medical science, the more you realize how very little we know/understand.
