Understanding the molecular and cellular pathways that regulate the balance of protective and harmful astrocyte reactivity remains a major goal in basic and translational neuroscience. In the central ...
Astrocytes tile the central nervous system (CNS), where they serve vital roles that uphold healthy nervous system function, including regulation of synapse development, buffering of neurotransmitters ...
Researchers at Tufts University School of Medicine have discovered a previously unknown function performed by a type of cell that comprises nearly half of all cells in the brain. The scientists say ...

New experiments reveal how astrocytes tune neuronal activity to modulate our mental and emotional states. The results suggest that neuron-only brain models, such as connectomes, leave out a crucial ...
