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 …

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

Astrocytes, one of the largest glial cell population in the central nervous system (CNS), play
a key function in several events of brain development and function, such as synapse …

The discovery that transient elevations of calcium concentration occur in astrocytes, and
release'gliotransmitters' which act on neurons and vascular smooth muscle, led to the idea …

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 …

We describe a strategy for developing hydrophilic chemical cocktails for tissue delipidation,
decoloring, refractive index (RI) matching, and decalcification, based on comprehensive …

Astrocytes extend highly branched processes that form functionally isolated microdomains,
facilitating local homeostasis by redistributing ions, removing neurotransmitters, and …

Astrocytes are highly complex cells with many emerging putative roles in brain function. Of
these, gliotransmission (active information transfer from glia to neurons) has probably the …

Neuronal networks are capable of undergoing rapid structural and functional changes called
plasticity, which are essential for shaping circuit function during nervous system …
