29(18):3120-3127.e5.
PMID: 31495587
Astrocytes are a major cell type in the mammalian nervous system, are in close proximity to neurons, and show rich Ca activity thought to mediate cellular outputs. Astrocytes show activity...

Transl Psychiatry
. 2018 Nov;
8(1):255.
PMID: 30487639
Stress elicits the release of glucocorticoids (GCs) that regulate energy metabolism and play a role in emotional memory. Astrocytes express glucocorticoid receptors (GR), but their contribution to cognitive effects of...

Nat Ecol Evol
. 2018 Jan;
2(3):483-490.
PMID: 29379182
A central hypothesis of ecology states that regional diversity influences local diversity through species-pool effects. Species pools are supposedly shaped by large-scale factors and then filtered into ecological communities, but...

PLoS One
. 2013 Apr;
8(4):e60040.
PMID: 23573230
Neuropathic pain elevates spinal anandamide (AEA) levels in a way further increased when URB597, an inhibitor of AEA hydrolysis by fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), is injected intrathecally. Spinal AEA...

Glia
. 2013 Jan;
61(4):623-35.
PMID: 23339081
Chronic opioid use leads to the structural reorganization of neuronal networks, involving genetic reprogramming in neurons and glial cells. Our previous in vivo studies have revealed that a significant fraction...

Neuron
. 2012 May;
74(3):504-16.
PMID: 22578502
Glial cells release molecules that influence brain development, function, and disease. Calcium-dependent exocytosis has been proposed as potential release mechanism in astroglia, but the physiological relevance of "gliotransmission" in vivo...

Glia
. 2011 Dec;
60(5):681-701.
PMID: 22162024
The development, function, and pathology of the brain depend on interactions of neurons and different types of glial cells, namely astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, microglia, and ependymal cells. Understanding neuron-glia interactions in...

. 2010 May;
11(5):R48.
PMID: 20459597
Background: Various drugs of abuse activate intracellular pathways in the brain reward system. These pathways regulate the expression of genes that are essential to the development of addiction. To reveal...

Glia
. 2007 Sep;
55(15):1565-76.
PMID: 17823970
Astrocytes are thought to exert diverse functions in the brain, but it has been difficult to prove this in vivo because of a scarcity of tools to manipulate these cells....

J Physiol Paris
. 2006 Feb;
99(2-3):84-91.
PMID: 16459062
Recent discoveries suggest that astrocytes are an integral part of synaptic connections, as they sense and modulate synaptic activity. Moreover, there is evidence that astrocytes change the number of synaptic...
