The use of implants that can electrically stimulate or record electrophysiological or
neurochemical activity in nervous tissue is rapidly expanding. Despite remarkable results in …

Astrocytes are a type of glial cell that tile the CNS. They interact with multiple cell types,
including neurons, glial cells and blood vessels, and are involved or implicated in brain …

Astrocytes respond to neuronal activity and were shown to be necessary for plasticity and
memory. To test whether astrocytic activity is also sufficient to generate synaptic potentiation …

Astrocytes can affect animal behavior by regulating tripartite synaptic transmission, yet their
influence on affective behavior remains largely unclear. Here we showed that hippocampal …

Astrocytes are non-neuronal cells that regulate synapses, neuronal circuits, and behavior.
Astrocytes ensheath neuronal synapses to form the tripartite synapse where astrocytes …

Astrocytes have long been regarded as essentially unexcitable cells that do not contribute to
active signaling and information processing in the brain. Contrary to this classical view, it is …

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

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 …

We provide an overview of recent progress on the study of astrocyte intracellular Ca2+
signaling. We consider the methods that have been used to monitor astrocyte Ca2+ signals …

It is well recognized that feeding behavior in mammals is orchestrated by neurons within the
medial basal hypothalamus. However, it remains unclear whether food intake is also under …
