Functional Astrocyte Heterogeneity and Implications for Their Role in Shaping Neurotransmission

In recent years, the role of astrocytes in shaping neuronal signaling has come to the forefront of neuroscience research. The development of genetic tools that enable targeted manipulation of astrocytes has revealed a wealth of mechanisms by which they can alter the synaptic strength and intrinsic e...
