Astrocyte-specific Ca²⁺ activity: Mechanisms of action, experimental tools, and roles in ethanol-induced dysfunction.

Astrocytes are a subtype of non-neuronal glial cells that reside in the central nervous system. Astrocytes have extensive peripheral astrocytic processes that ensheathe synapses to form the tripartite synapse. Through a multitude of pathways, astrocytes can influence synaptic development and structu... View More
