Abstract Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised
by deficits in social communication and restricted or repetitive behaviours. The clinical …

Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by a range of motor symptoms. Besides the
cardinal symptoms (akinesia and bradykinesia, tremor and rigidity), PD patients show …

Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), an astrocytic cytoskeletal protein, can be measured in
blood samples, and has been associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, plasma …

Astrocytes play crucial roles in the brain and are involved in the neuroinflammatory
response. They become reactive in response to virtually all pathological situations in the …

Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is the main intermediate filament protein in mature
astrocytes, but also an important component of the cytoskeleton in astrocytes during …

It has been 30 years since the discovery that repeated electrical stimulation of neural
pathways can lead to long-term potentiation in hippocampal slices. With its relevance to …

It is now well established that the glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is the principal 8–9 nm
intermediate filament in mature astrocytes of the central nervous system (CNS). Over a …

Astrocytes become activated (reactive) in response to many CNS pathologies, such as
stroke, trauma, growth of a tumor, or neurodegenerative disease. The process of astrocyte …

The circuitry of the human brain is formed by neuronal networks embedded into astroglial
syncytia. The astrocytes perform numerous functions, providing for the overall brain …

A mechanism by which members of the ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF)–leukemia
inhibitory factor cytokine family regulate gliogenesis in the developing mammalian central …
