Connexin channels are known to be permeable to a variety of cytoplasmic molecules. The
first observation of second messenger junctional permeability, made∼ 30 years ago …

Ca 2+ influx through an astrocyte plasma membrane is mediated by ionotropic receptors
and Ca 2+ channels according the electrochemical gradient. These conductances allow …

A continuously growing body of evidence indicates that astrocytes, which is the most
abundant sub-type of glial cells in the nervous system, not only provide structural and …

We propose a novel biologically plausible computational model of working memory (WM)
implemented by a spiking neuron network (SNN) interacting with a network of astrocytes …

Recent in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate that astrocytes participate in the
maintenance of cortical gamma oscillations and recognition memory. However, the …

Distal astrocytic processes have a complex morphology, reminiscent of branchlets and
leaflets. Astrocytic branchlets are rod-like processes containing mitochondria and …

Modeling the neuronal processes underlying short-term working memory remains the focus
of many theoretical studies in neuroscience. In this paper, we propose a mathematical …

The mathematical model of the spiking neural network (SNN) supplied by astrocytes is
investigated. The astrocytes are a specific type of brain cells which are not electrically …

The complexity of astrocyte morphology and syncytial coupling through gap junctions are
crucial for astrocyte function in the brain. However, the ultrastructural details of astrocyte …

The computational neuroscience field has heavily concentrated on the modeling of neuronal
functions, largely ignoring other brain cells, including one type of glial cell, the astrocytes …
