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

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

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

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 ...

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 ...

Astrocytes grow until they meet another astrocyte, and form thousands of connections with other cells, “which means that every square millimeter of the brain is within the domain of an astrocyte ...
