The tl;dr is that astrocyte networks transmit interdependently of neurons and represent a discrete signalling network. Astrocytes also have the ability to modify activity of neurons in completely different regions (can control the entry and exit of a signal).
Edit:
Astrocyte domains and the three-dimensional and seamless expression of consciousness and explicit memories – FROM 2013?!?!
The Astrocentric Hypothesis: proposed role of astrocytes in consciousness and memory formation – Wow, he proposed it in 2002. I think astrocentric is correct only in a very narrow context though, there’s still a ton of other parts required.
