Astrocytes are abundant glial cells in the central nervous system (CNS) that perform diverse
functions in health and disease. Astrocyte dysfunction is found in numerous diseases …

The participation of astrocytes in brain computation was hypothesized in 1992, coinciding
with the discovery that these cells display a form of intracellular Ca2+ signaling sensitive to …

One of the most transformative developments in neurogastroenterology is the realization that
many functions normally attributed to enteric neurons involve interactions with enteric glial …

Astrocytes serve important roles that affect recruitment and function of neurons at the local
and network levels. Here we review the contributions of astrocyte signaling to synaptic …

Astrocytes are ubiquitous in the brain and are widely held to be largely identical. However,
this view has not been fully tested, and the possibility that astrocytes are neural circuit …

Dopamine is involved in physiological processes like learning and memory, motor control
and reward, and pathological conditions such as Parkinson's disease and addiction. In …

Although it is well established that all brain regions contain various neuronal subtypes with
different functions, astrocytes have traditionally been thought to be homogenous. However …

In the mammalian cerebral cortex neurons are arranged in specific layers and form
connections both within the cortex and with other brain regions, thus forming a complex …

Astrocytes are key cellular partners for neurons in the central nervous system. Astrocytes
react to virtually all types of pathological alterations in brain homeostasis by significant …

Astrocytes are emerging as important players in synaptic function, and, consequently, on
brain function and animal behavior. According to the Tripartite Synapse concept, astrocytes …
