Astrocytes are a heterogeneous population of neural cells with diverse structural, functional
and molecular characteristics responsible for homeostasis and protection of the central …

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 …

Astrocytes regulate multiple aspects of neuronal and synaptic function from development
through to adulthood. Instead of addressing each function independently, this review …

Astrocytes are emerging as important players in synaptic function, and, consequently, on
brain function and animal behavior. According to the Tripartite Synapse concept, astrocytes …

Neuromodulation is a fundamental process in the brain that regulates synaptic transmission,
neuronal network activity and behavior. Emerging evidence demonstrates that astrocytes, a …

Astrocytes are the most abundant glial cell type in the central nervous system and are
essential to the development, plasticity, and maintenance of neural circuits. Astrocytes are …

Astrocytes are now viewed as key elements of brain wiring as well as neuronal
communication. Indeed, they not only bridge the gap between metabolic supplies by blood …

Astrocytes are now emerging as key participants in many aspects of brain development,
function and disease. In particular, new evidence shows that astrocytes powerfully control …

Close structural and functional interactions of astrocytes with synapses play an important
role in brain function. The repertoire of ways in which astrocytes can regulate synaptic …

Neuronal signalling is a key element in neuronal communication and is essential for the
proper functioning of the CNS. Astrocytes, the most prominent glia in the brain play a key …
