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

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 ...

Excessive levels of GABA released by astrocytes impair the brain's ability to extinguish fear responses in PTSD, but a newly ...

Summary: New research uncovers how tau pathology spreads and damages synapses in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). Using ...

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 ...

Researchers at the Center for Neuroscience Imaging Research within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) have uncovered a two ...

Did you know that patients with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) often struggle to forget traumatic memories, even long ...

Astrocytes are star-shaped cells woven between the brain's neurons in a grid-like pattern. Their many star arms connect a single astrocyte to thousands of synapses, which are the connections ...
