To shine light on the role of astrocytes in neuroinflammation and in the pathophysiology of MDD, a team of researchers, led by Dr. Gaurav Singhal from the Department of Surgery ...

The new drug has already passed Phase 1 safety trials in humans, making it a "strong candidate" for future PTSD treatments.

A study by Faculty of Medicine and its Synapsy Centre reveals that the diversity of astrocytes in the cortex originates from two distinct types of progenitors. This discovery redefines the essential ...

A new study shows that astrocytes use a protein called Gat3 to manage ambient GABA levels, helping neurons work together to ...

Patients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) often struggle to forget traumatic memories, even long after the danger ...

An experimental drug reverses PTSD-like symptoms in mice. The corresponding study was published in Signal Transduction and ...

Researchers discovered that PTSD may be driven by excess GABA from astrocytes, not neurons. This chemical imbalance disrupts ...

This study reports important negative results by showing that genetic removal of the RNA-binding protein PTBP1 in astrocytes is not sufficient to induce their conversion into neurons, challenging ...

A new study reveals that astrocyte-derived GABA, not neuronal activity, plays a central role in PTSD by impairing the brain’s ability to extinguish traumatic memories.

Kelley Mack, who was best known for her role as Addy on the hit TV series “The Walking Dead,” died in Cincinnati last weekend ...

These discoveries reinforce the idea that astrocytes (long neglected in favour of neurons) play a key role in brain function. They also demonstrate, for the first time, the ability of astrocytes ...
