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 a large and diverse population of morphologically complex cells that exist
throughout nervous systems of multiple species. Progress over the last two decades has …

Cortical state, defined by population-level neuronal activity patterns, determines sensory
perception. While arousal-associated neuromodulators—including norepinephrine (NE) …

Flexible behaviors over long timescales are thought to engage recurrent neural networks in
deep brain regions, which are experimentally challenging to study. In insects, recurrent …

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

Astrocytes, the most abundant glial cells in the mammalian brain, are critical regulators of
brain development and physiology through dynamic and often bidirectional interactions with …

Astrocytes functionally interact with neurons and with other brain cells. Although not
electrically excitable, astrocytes display a complex repertoire of intracellular Ca2+ signalling …

Brain computation performed by billions of nerve cells relies on a sufficient and
uninterrupted nutrient and oxygen supply,. Astrocytes, the ubiquitous glial neighbours of …

Perisynaptic astrocytic processes are an integral part of central nervous system synapses,;
however, the molecular mechanisms that govern astrocyte–synapse adhesions and how …

Astrocytes are complex glial cells with numerous fine cellular processes that infiltrate the
neuropil and interact with synapses. The mechanisms that control the establishment of …
