What happens in the brain when sensory stimulation continues over time—for example, while jogging, reading or listening to ...

Researchers identified an astrocyte signaling pathway that sustained neuronal activity and cerebral blood flow during ...

Adult astrocytes stretched, divided, and moved new nuclei into damaged brain regions during a temporary repair state.

Tetraploid astrocytes with metabolic and transport markers are significantly increased in the cortex of drug-resistant ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have unraveled the processes that give astrocytes, the most abundant glial cell in the brain, their special bushy shape, which is fundamental for brain ...

Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is an inherited genetic developmental condition that strongly impacts brain development. Despite the syndrome stemming from an altered genetic code for the single protein ...

Researchers have discovered that astrocytes, the most abundant cells in the brain, play a direct role in the regulation of adult neuronal circuits involved in learning and memory. Researchers at ...

Resting brain stem cells hardly differ from normal astrocytes, which support the nerve cells in the brain. How can almost identical cells perform such different functions? The key lies in the ...

Scientists had previously reported that removing senescent glia from mouse models of tauopathy protected them from neurodegeneration. But what made those glia senescent to begin with? In the July 20 ...
