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 ...

A new study reveals that astrocytes – support cells in the brain – drive PTSD by releasing excess GABA in the prefrontal ...

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 ...

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 ...

"While astrocytes modulate the neuronal excitatory/inhibitory (E/I) balance that could directly affect social behaviors, efforts to understand the biological basis of mouse dominance behavior have ...

Olfactory stimulation triggered an increase of serotonin transporter Slc22a3 on the astrocytes, which mediated serotonin transport into the cells. “We followed serotonin inside the astrocytes and were ...
