New studies show that astrocytes, long thought to be support cells in the brain, are crucial intermediaries for relaying messages to neurons.

Researchers at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) have identified a remarkably small but critical piece of genetic code ...

To close this gap, we present a theory of neuron–astrocytes networks for ... astrocyte interacting with multiple nearby synapses, astrocytes also extensively communicate with each other through ...

How do we think, feel, remember, or move? These processes involve synaptic transmission, in which chemical signals are transmitted between nerve cells using molecular containers called vesicles. Now, ...
