New Roles for Old Glue: Astrocyte Function in Synaptic Plasticity and Neurological Disorders
Previously believed to solely play a supportive role in the central nervous system, astrocytes are now considered active players in normal brain function. Evidence in recent decades extends their contributions beyond the classically held brain glue role; it’s now known that astrocytes act as a uniqu...
