The Mas-related G protein–coupled receptors (Mrgprs or Mas-related genes) comprise a
subfamily of receptors named after the first discovered member, Mas. For most Mrgprs …

Designer Receptors Exclusively Activated by Designer Drugs (DREADDs) have proven
themselves as one of the key in vivo techniques of modern neuroscience, allowing for …

Local blood flow is modulated in response to changing patterns of neuronal activity, a
process termed neurovascular coupling. It has been proposed that the central cellular …

Astrocytes and neurons have been shown to swell across a variety of different conditions,
including increases in extracellular potassium concentration (^[K+] o). The mechanisms …

Astrocytes are a predominant glial cell type in the nervous systems, and are becoming
recognized as important mediators of normal brain function as well as neurodevelopmental …

The ability of the nervous system to undergo long-term plasticity is based on changes in
cellular and synaptic proteomes. While many studies have explored dynamic alterations in …

Astrocytes are a functionally diverse form of glial cell involved in various aspects of nervous
system infrastructure, from the metabolic and structural support of neurons to direct …

Astrocytes are a major cell type in the mammalian brain. They are not electrically excitable,
but generate prominent Ca2+ signals related to a wide variety of critical functions. The …

Changing the whisker complement on a rodent's snout can lead to two forms of experience‐
dependent plasticity (EDP) in the neurons of the barrel cortex, where whiskers are …

Abstract Astrocyte Gq GPCR and IP 3 receptor-dependent Ca 2+ elevations occur
spontaneously in situ and in vivo. These events vary considerably in size, often remaining …
