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 neural cells of ectodermal, neuroepithelial origin that provide for homeostasis
and defense of the central nervous system (CNS). Astrocytes are highly heterogeneous in …

Astrocytes are morphologically complex, ubiquitous cells that are viewed as a
homogeneous population tiling the entire central nervous system (CNS). However, this view …

Extrasynaptic actions of glutamate are limited by high-affinity transporters expressed by
perisynaptic astroglial processes (PAPs): this helps maintain point-to-point transmission in …

Astrocytes are the most abundant glial cells in the central nervous system (CNS) and
participate in synaptic, circuit, and behavioral functions. The well‐developed protoplasmic …

Astrocytes tile the entire CNS. They are vital for neural circuit function, but have traditionally
been viewed as simple, homogenous cells that serve the same essential supportive roles …

Stroke instigates a dynamic process of repair and remodelling of remaining neural circuits,
and this process is shaped by behavioural experiences. The onset of motor disability …

Intracellular Ca2+ signaling is considered to be important for multiple astrocyte functions in
neural circuits. However, mice devoid of inositol triphosphate type 2 receptors (IP3R2) …

The amygdala plays key roles in fear and anxiety. Studies of the amygdala have largely
focused on neuronal function and connectivity. Astrocytes functionally interact with neurons …

While neurons principally mediate brain function, astrocytes are emerging as cells with
important neuromodulatory actions in brain physiology. In addition to homeostatic roles …
