The astrocytes' response to neuronal signals can also change; they can modulate how they respond to neurotransmitters such as dopamine and glutamate. “Astrocytes are really big, and a single cell can ...

Astrocytes, the star-shaped glial cells known for providing structural and metabolic support to neurons, ... In earlier mouse research, she found hints that the potassium channels of astrocytes in the ...

They isolated ordinary astrocytes and brain stem cells from the ventricular-subventricular zone (vSVZ), a region of adult mice brains with young neurons. They analyzed gene expression data as well ...

Function . Astrocytes have a variety of functions within the brain and central nervous system as a whole. Astrocytes provide nutrients to neurons while maintaining the balance between cellular ions ...

In contrast, the astrocytes in Huntington’s mice were not as effective in investing or sequestering the synapse, leaving large gaps. This structural flaw allows potassium and glutamate—chemicals that ...

Serotonin triggers changes in astrocyte gene expression patterns, turning astrocytes into a hub of olfactory sensation processing,” Sardar said. “This project has uncovered novel aspects of astrocyte ...

Apart from absorbing excess potassium, astrocytes themselves could cause potassium levels around the neuron to drop, halting neuronal signaling. This research showed, ...

Apart from absorbing excess potassium, astrocytes themselves could cause potassium levels around the neuron to drop, halting neuronal signaling. This research showed, for the first time, that ...

Astrocytes guide the growth of axons, the long, slender projection of a neuron that conducts electrical impulses. ... But the new study reveals that neurons also release potassium ions, ...

Astrocytes guide the growth of axons, the long, slender projection of a neuron that conducts electrical impulses. ... there was no way to image potassium activity in the brain, for example, ...
