The use of implants that can electrically stimulate or record electrophysiological or
neurochemical activity in nervous tissue is rapidly expanding. Despite remarkable results in …

Recent research focusing on the participation of astrocytes in glutamatergic tripartite
synapses has revealed mechanisms that support cognitive functions common to human and …

The computational neuroscience field has heavily concentrated on the modeling of neuronal
functions, largely ignoring other brain cells, including one type of glial cell, the astrocytes …

Abnormal depolarization of neuronal membranes called paroxysmal depolarization shift
(PDS) represents a cellular correlate of interictal spikes. The mechanisms underlying the …

In the present study, a biologically plausible neuronal population model is developed, which
considers functional outcome of neuron–astrocyte interactions. Based on established …

Astrocytes actively shape the dynamics of neurons and neuronal ensembles by affecting
several aspects critical to neuronal function, such as regulating synaptic plasticity …

Recent evidence suggests that glial cells take an active role in a number of brain functions
that were previously attributed solely to neurons. For example, astrocytes, one type of glial …

Recent research on brain correlates of cognitive processes revealed the occurrence of
global synchronization during conscious processing of sensory stimuli. In spite of …

Recent neurophysiologic findings have shown that astrocytes play important roles in
information processing and modulation of neuronal activity. Motivated by these findings, in …

The ability of astrocytes to rapidly clear synaptic glutamate and purposefully release the
excitatory transmitter is critical in the functioning of synapses and neuronal circuits …
