Figure 1 Astrocytes in Long-Term Memory Formation Suzuki et al. (2011) show that glycogenolysis (the breakdown of glycogen) and the release of its downstream product lactate from astrocytes are required for memory consolidation in response to a learning paradigm. (A) Rats participate in a learning task, creating a stable memory in the CA1 region of the hippocampus. (B) Some of the key molecular and structural changes at CA1 synapses (brown) and neighboring astrocytes (light blue) that lead to the establishment of long-term memory. The figure is based on the available literature and the new results by Suzuki et al. The learning task stimulates memory formation that, in the early phase, requires both glutamatergic synaptic activity in neurons and glycogen metabolism and lactate release in astrocytes. The memory program in the postsynaptic neuron triggers activation of protein kinases with subsequent phosphorylation of the nuclear transcription factor CREB and of cofilin (an actin-binding protein), as well as rapid expression of the activity-dependent gene Arc, all necessary steps for the establishment of long-term memory. In the late phase, new protein synthesis leads to structural changes and formation of new synapses. The authors' data suggest that lactate is exported from astrocytes via the monocarboxylate transporters MCT1 or MCT4 and imported into neurons via MCT2. Lactate transport is necessary for the expression of Arc and for the phosphorylation of CREB and cofilin. Question marks in the figure highlight the several issues that remain to be resolved: (1) the neuronal signal responsible for triggering glycogen metabolism in astrocytes; (2) the specific location of the different lactate transporters in astrocytes and neurons; (3) the mechanism by which lactate acts in the cascade of events leading to memory consolidation.
