what's the source of some of this info?
i went to wikipedia to look up what astrocytes were https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrocyte but it didn't directly mention that they go around eating brain cells created in association with a memory.
anyway, i'm just wondering what your own personal thoughts on this are?

like if sleep deprivation destroys memory by activating the astrocytes how do you take into account everyone's individual sleep needs. some people naturally only sleep like 3 hours a day where others need like 6 or 8. so are those 3 hour people getting mentally destroyed quicker than the 8 hour people?
