Anecdotal evidence that cannabis preparations have medical benefits together with the
discovery of the psychotropic plant cannabinoid Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) initiated …

The participation of astrocytes in brain computation was hypothesized in 1992, coinciding
with the discovery that these cells display a form of intracellular Ca2+ signaling sensitive to …

Astrocytes serve important roles that affect recruitment and function of neurons at the local
and network levels. Here we review the contributions of astrocyte signaling to synaptic …

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 …

Astrocytes take up glucose from the bloodstream to provide energy to the brain, thereby
allowing neuronal activity and behavioural responses,,,–. By contrast, astrocytes are under …

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

Oxytocin (OT) orchestrates social and emotional behaviors through modulation of neural
circuits. In the central amygdala, the release of OT modulates inhibitory circuits and, thereby …

Astrocytes, a major type of glial cell, are known to play key supportive roles in brain function,
contributing to ion and neurotransmitter homeostasis, maintaining the blood–brain barrier …

Brain circuits undergo substantial structural changes during development, driven by the
formation, stabilization, and elimination of synapses. Synaptic connections continue to …

Glia are as numerous in the brain as neurons and widely known to serve supportive roles
such as structural scaffolding, extracellular ionic and neurotransmitter homeostasis, and …
