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.

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 ...

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

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

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

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

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

This is an important study that examines the relationship between a Parkinson's 's-associated mutation in LRRK2 kinase and increased ERM phosphorylation in astrocytes, altered excitatory and ...

Because phospho-dead Ezrin overexpression in astrocytes differentially impacts synapse densities and function in WT and LRRK2 G2019S ki/ki mice (Figure 4), we wondered if overexpression of ...
