A fall on the head, a blow to the skull, or a road traffic accident—the causes of traumatic brain injury are diverse, but the ...

"However, when the astrocyte ensemble in these mice in the non-fearful environment was activated, the animals froze, showing that astrocyte activation stimulates memory recall," Kwon said. To better ...

The connection between perturbations in BBB barrier function and damage to the astrocyte network and its functions arises from BBB damage, leading to the extravasation of albumin. In the physiological ...

We will begin by highlighting a subset of the many cellular functions of astrocytes, focusing specifically on those functions that have the most relevance to neurodegeneration (Figure 1). Other ...

New neuroscience research identifies Glutamine Synthetase as the key enzyme driving postnatal brain maturation and neuronal ...

Move over, amyloid, reactive astrocytes and activated microglia may be the main drivers of the Alzheimer’s disease pathological cascade. In the November 6 Nature Neuroscience, scientists led by Pedro ...

A study by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine may change the way we understand memory. Until now, memories have been explained by the activity of neurons that respond to learning events and ...
