Morizawa Y, Matsumoto M, Nakashima Y, Endo N, Aida T, Ishikane H, et al.
Nat Neurosci
. 2022 Nov;
25(11):1458-1469.
PMID: 36319770
Synaptic pruning is a fundamental process of neuronal circuit refinement in learning and memory. Accumulating evidence suggests that glia participates in sculpting the neuronal circuits through synapse engulfment. However, whether...

PMID: 34954320
Unlike an electrical circuit, the hardware of the brain is susceptible to change. Repeated electrical brain stimulation mimics epileptogenesis. After such "kindling" process, a moderate stimulus would become sufficient in...

599(7):2085-2102.
PMID: 33527421
Key Points: Recent studies have repeatedly demonstrated the cross-talk of heterogeneous signals between neuronal and glial circuits. Here, we investigated the mechanism and the influence of physiological interactions between neurons...

Sci Rep
. 2018 Apr;
8(1):5435.
PMID: 29615713
Rats are excellent animal models for experimental neuroscience. However, the application of optogenetics in rats has been hindered because of the limited number of established transgenic rat strains. To accomplish...

PMID: 25643925
L-tri-iodothyronine (3, 3', 5-triiodothyronine; T3) is an active form of the thyroid hormone (TH) essential for the development and function of the CNS. Though nongenomic effect of TH, its plasma...

. 2014 Dec;
72(12):2243-9.
PMID: 25518365
Astrocytes respond to neuronal activity. However, whether astrocytic activity has any significance in brain function is unknown. Signaling pathway leading from astrocytes to neurons would be required for astrocytes to...

Neuron
. 2014 Jan;
81(2):314-20.
PMID: 24462096
The brain demands high-energy supply and obstruction of blood flow causes rapid deterioration of the healthiness of brain cells. Two major events occur upon ischemia: acidosis and liberation of excess...

Glia
. 2013 Mar;
61(6):881-91.
PMID: 23468421
Microglia express AMPA (α-amino-hydroxy-5-methyl-isoxazole-4-propionate)-type of glutamate (Glu) receptors (AMPAR), which are highly Ca(2+) impermeable due to the expression of GluA2. However, the functional importance of AMPAR in microglia remains to...

PMID: 23185019
Dynamic activity of glia has repeatedly been demonstrated, but if such activity is independent from neuronal activity, glia would not have any role in the information processing in the brain...
