Des chercheurs révèlent le rôle crucial des astrocytes dans la fermeture de la période de plasticité cérébrale qui suit la naissance. Ces travaux permettent d’envisager de nouvelles stratégies pour ré-introduire la plasticité cérébrale chez l’adulte, et ainsi favoriser la rééducation après des lésions cérébrales ou des troubles neuro-développementaux.
