When myelin, the insulating sheath around nerve fibers, is damaged in the brain’s white matter, the body launches an ...

Cells long thought to play a secondary role in brain function build their own far-reaching connections, a new study in mice showed. These pathways appear to connect distant regions in ways that have ...

A new NYU Langone Health study reveals that astrocytes, long considered support cells, create organized brain-wide communication networks in mice. These astrocytic pathways connect specific brain ...

Researchers discovered that astrocytes form organized, brain-wide networks that enable long-range communication between regions. These dynamic pathways depend on gap junctions and can reorganize with ...

Cells long thought to play a secondary role in brain function build their own far-reaching connections, a new study in mice ...

Using single-nucleus RNA sequencing, the authors map transcriptional changes in the rat ventral tegmental area following chronic inflammatory pain and acute morphine exposure. Notably, their ...

Cells long thought to play a secondary role in brain function build their own far-reaching connections, according to a new ...

Discovery that astrocyte networks shrink and reroute after a loss of sensory signals suggests they may be shaped by experience.

Researchers mapped brain-wide astrocyte networks that link distant regions, proving these "support cells" have their own long ...

Cells long thought to play a secondary role in brain function build their own far-reaching connections, a new study in mice showed. These pathways ...

The Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) is a highly selective interface that protects the brain by regulating the entry of nutrients, signaling molecules, and ...

Long dismissed as ‘brain glue,’ star-shaped cells called astrocytes are emerging as a breakthrough in treating Alzheimer’s ...
