The overlooked astrocyte: Star-shaped brain cells may form specialized networks for reward learningTheir findings, published in Nature Neuroscience, unveiled the existence of astrocytic ensembles, specialized astrocyte subsets that appear to be active during reward-driven behaviors.
The mechanisms of pathological astrocyte responses during multiple sclerosis remain unclear. Kadowaki et al. found in MS mouse models that CLEC16A suppresses astrocyte pathogenic activities ...
Erythropoietin-producing hepatoma (Eph) receptors, including EphA4, are expressed on the cell surface and involved in brain development, which involves extensive pruning of synapses. A variant in ...
Here, we identified a circuit, locus coeruleus descending noradrenergic neurons projecting to the spinal dorsal horn (LC →SDH -NA neurons), that is activated by acute exposure to restraint stress and ...
Researchers have created a four-dimensional brain map that reveals how MS-like lesions form, providing new insights into the earliest stages of the disease.
This cutting-edge research project at Ulster University dives into one of the brain's most fascinating mechanisms: the conversation between brain cells that keeps our minds healthy and functioning.
Three-dimensional reconstruction of an ensemble astrocyte tagged with AstroLight, in yellow, and a non-ensemble astrocyte, in red. Credit: Serra et al. "We adapted a tool originally designed for ...
