Delivering a connection-building protein to star-shaped cells in the brain could reverse changes to neural circuits seen in ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine reveal that astrocytes, the most abundant cells in the brain, play a direct role in the regulation of neuronal circuits involved in learning and memory. The ...

Imagine the brain as the night sky—an expansive sea of tissue dotted with cells of all shapes and sizes. Perhaps the most well known are the filamentous neurons that intertwine with their neighbors to ...

During development, brain cells may find different ways to connect with each other based on sex, according to researchers at the Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine. The study, ...

Researchers have now uncovered their crucial role in closing the period of brain plasticity that follows birth, finding them to be key to the development of sensory and cognitive faculties. Over the ...

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.
