Delivering a connection-building protein to star-shaped cells in the brain could reverse changes to neural circuits seen in ...
Correction: The original version of this article misquoted Baljit Khakh as saying that with the genetic data of astrocytes in human brains afflicted with Alzheimer’s disease the same genes associated ...
Researchers report that neuronal activity is necessary and sufficient for astrocytes to develop their complex shape, and interrupting this developmental process results in disrupted brain function.
