Abstract: Behavioral challenges prompt alternating vigorous and reduced mobility – active, passive coping – that optimize energy investment. Here, we show that disrupting astrocytes calcium signaling in the mouse lateral habenula (LHb) prolongs active coping. This… read more here.

Abstract: Astrocytes are non-neuronal cells that regulate synapses, neuronal circuits, and behavior. Astrocytes ensheath neuronal synapses to form the tripartite synapse where astrocytes influence synapse formation, function, and plasticity. Beyond the synapse, recent research has revealed… read more here.
