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

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 ...

In a new discovery, scientists at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) and Ewha Womans University have uncovered a new brain ...

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

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

Cells called astrocytes are about as abundant in the brain as neurons, but scientists have spent much less time figuring out ...

Fatty diets and obesity affect the structure and function of astrocytes, the star-shaped brain cells located in the striatum, a brain region involved in the perception of pleasure generated by ...

A Florida Atlantic University study shows that astrocytes, glial cells long viewed as passive, actively influence brain communication, especially during synchronized neural activity. Researchers ...

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

Glial cells support neurological structures, function, cognition, behaviours, physical skills, and motor coordination.

Technical Terms Astrocyte: A type of glial cell in the central nervous system responsible for supporting neurons, maintaining homeostasis, and modulating synaptic function.
