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 …

Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) provide a powerful platform for disease
modeling and have unlocked new possibilities for understanding the mechanisms governing …

The human brain contains two major cell populations, neurons and glia. While neurons are
electrically excitable and capable of discharging short voltage pulses known as action …

Astrocytes, the most abundant glial cell in the brain, play critical roles in metabolic and
homeostatic functions of the Nervous System; however, their participation in coding …

The nervous system is made of a large number of neurons. Time-varying balance between
excitatory and inhibitory neurons is important to activate appropriate modes of electrical …

Astrocytes regulate synaptic transmission and play a role in the formation of new memories,
long‐term potentiation (LTP), and functional synaptic plasticity. Specifically, astroglial …

Neurotoxicity testing still relies on ethically debated, expensive and time consuming in vivo
experiments, which are unsuitable for high-throughput toxicity screening. There is thus a …

Sighs prevent the collapse of alveoli in the lungs, initiate arousal under hypoxic conditions,
and are an expression of sadness and relief. Sighs are periodically superimposed on …

Recent in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate that astrocytes participate in the
maintenance of cortical gamma oscillations and recognition memory. However, the …

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) involves a complex interplay of both genetic and
environmental risk factors, with immune alterations and synaptic connection deficiency in …
