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

Motor neurone disease (MND) is a rare but progressive neurological disorder characterised by the degeneration of motor ...

This study identifies astrocyte-intrinsic mechanisms by which the LRRK2 G2019S, a mutation linked to familial Parkinson's disease, disrupts synaptic integrity in the anterior cingulate cortex. The ...

CRISPR construct to genetically ablate the GABA transporter GAT3 in the mouse visual cortex, with effects on population-level neuronal activity. This work is important, as it sheds light on how GAT3 ...

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

AI Unveils Key Role of Astrocytes in Brain Function Florida Atlantic University Long overlooked and underestimated, glial cells - non-neuronal cells that support, protect and communicate with neurons ...

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

Astrocytes Take Center Stage in Brain Function Study Astrocytes help regulate brain rhythm and communication, a role revealed by machine learning and computational modeling.

AI reveals astrocytes play a 'starring' role in dynamic brain function by Gisele Galoustian, Florida Atlantic University edited by Lisa Lock, reviewed by Andrew Zinin Editors' notes ...

A new FAU study shows astrocytes help neurons fire in sync, shaping brain rhythms key for attention, memory, and sleep – guiding how groups of neurons work together during high-focus or ...

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 ...
