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 …

Astrocytic Ca2+ signaling has been intensively studied in health and disease but has not
been quantified during natural sleep. Here, we employ an activity-based algorithm to assess …

Astrocytes tile the central nervous system, but their functions in neural microcircuits in vivo
and their roles in mammalian behavior remain incompletely defined. We used two-photon …

The mechanisms by which astrocytes modulate neural homeostasis, synaptic plasticity, and
memory are still poorly explored. Astrocytes form large intercellular networks by gap junction …

Astrocytic calcium dynamics has been implicated in the encoding of sensory information,,,–,
and modulation of calcium in astrocytes has been shown to affect behaviour,,,–. However …

Sensory stimulation evokes intracellular calcium signals in astrocytes; however, the timing of
these signals is disputed. Here, we used novel combinations of genetically encoded calcium …

Astrocytes comprise a heterogeneous cell population characterized by distinct
morphologies, protein expression and function. Unlike neurons, astrocytes do not generate …

Memory persistence is a fundamental cognitive process for guiding behaviors and is
considered to rely mostly on neuronal and synaptic plasticity. Whether and how astrocytes …

Microglia have crucial roles in sculpting synapses and maintaining neural circuits during
development. To test the hypothesis that microglia continue to regulate neural circuit …
